Summary
Inspired and motivated by the craft of woodwork, I am eager to be apart of the team. I’m confident that my attention to detail and skills will be an asset to your company. The time I’ve had with building custom doors and windows has created a strong foundation in my life and skill set. I'm ready to follow and take charge any journey in carpentry that comes my way. No matter the machine; sawmill, re-saw, shaper, router, table saw, bandsaw, chisel or hammer I’m ready to give it my all and keep all my fingers. Thank you for your time.
