Summary
For the past 14 years I have worked in the geotechnical hazard mitigation field. Starting as a rope access technician and working my way up as a slope foreman, project superintendent, project manager, and operations manager. I have led jobs both on the ground an in a management position in variety of different work settings including: mining, power generation, highways, rail, and commericial/residential. My goal is to find a long-term role with company that is striving to build a strong foundation in the geohazard mitigation industry. I am motivated to learn, hardworking, and willing to collaboratively work towards the goals of a team.
