Summary

I am a dependable, flexible, punctual, hardworking craftsman with over 34 years of experience with customers and the public. I have great people and problem solving skills, a great work ethic and a clean driving record. I work well unsupervised and have a great deal of experience in a leadership role. I consider myself mechanically inclined and adaptable to new skills and duties.

I also have personal experience in other areas of the building trades. I completely remodeled my first home, finished the basement in my current home and built a 20x24, 2-story detached garage. I performed many duties including: framing repairs, hanging dry wall, some drywall finishing, installing doors and all trim, building a custom bar, replacing all windows, replacing all electrical devices, prepping and painting the interior and exterior, plumbing repairs, all basement stone work, tiling the shower, cutting concrete, installing septic crock and completing under slab plumbing.
