BLAKE WERNLI
Vista,CA
Summary
Out of high school I had an apprenticeship for tattooing for 2 years, and then proceeded into a full time professional tattoo career. Tattooing has been a great experience and I have had the privilege of traveling and learning from world famous artists.
I have always had a desire to learn more trades in my life and be the best at them. I come from a long line of finish carpenters and have always enjoyed working with my hands. I really want to pursue a full time career in carpentry and millwork. I take great pride in learning new things and expanding my knowledge.
Detail-oriented individual with exceptional communication and project management skills. Proven ability to handle multiple tasks effectively and efficiently in fast-paced environments. Recognized for taking proactive approach to identifying and addressing issues, with focus on optimizing processes and supporting team objectives.
