Summary

I am an accomplished Journeyman Union Ironworker from Union Local 118, adept in a variety of skills and experience after a 17 year career and completion of many trade related certifications and continued education.

I take pride in my work everyday and the overall part i have had in creating things that will remain long after I'm gone.

I am a skilled and dedicated member to have on any team. I show up rain or shine, hot or cold and work overtime and weekends as much as I'm needed.

For years I have only been home with my family 4-6 days a month. I am hoping to find a position that can offer the same sense of pride and responsibility that being an ironworker has, but will allow me to have some more time home with my family.
