Summary

Hardworking and reliable Get along with others easily. I have a strong work ethic. I grew up on a cattle farm in idaho So I have experience with-all sorts of hand tools and equipment. I’ve worked little bits of almost every aspect of construction. I worked for a property manager for three winters on and off between my summers in Skagway. There I was a the maintenance man for over 100 units from houses to apartment complex's and student boarding houses. I gained a lot of experience trouble shooting and solving a large spectrum of housing issues. We also did quite a few major remodels from framing to painting and finish carpentry so I’ve got a fair amount of experience in building and maintenance.
