Summary
I have started and ran my own tree service for the last 12 years. I perform all aspects of the job from running the bucket to putting in the estimates. I have gotten heavily involved with mission work over the last 5 years and I am looking for a career that takes up a little less time and puts my ISA certification and experience to work for me. I have a specialty certification in Tree Risk Identification. I worked for multiple residential tree services and transmission line clearance with Asplundh before opening my own tree service. I have done mission work all over the world including Latin America, Africa, Europe, and Asia. I have operated in remote areas of world for extended durations to teach people, construct facilities, and work with women and children that have been trafficked into prostitution. I have worked individually with people and lead groups in teaching, humanitarian actions, prayer and community activities. Flexible and attentive with superior work ethic and good understanding of different populations. I offer extensive knowledIge of different cultures. Adept at creating volunteer programs and facilitating dynamic missions for all ages and kinds of people. Persistent and persuasive worker with lifelong commitment to working in underdeveloped areas in the world.
