years of professional experience

I have been a very loyal employee for Santana flooring for nearly 3 years. Starting full time, after graduating and learning basic construction from KCTC. As well as from the summer I worked as a handyman’s apprentice. I have proven consistently, that I am a hard worker, with much eagerness to learn. Team player all the way. I’m an All American wrestler and played sports all throughout school, so I recognize the value in working together as a team
