Summary

Dependable worker equipped for fast-paced work and changing daily needs. Serves customers effectively with attention to detail and hardworking approach. Seeks out opportunities to go beyond basics, improve processes, and increase customer satisfaction. I’ve been a licensed apprentice for 2 years and some change at this point and am set to test out for my journeymen’s license in October of 2025. I’ve worked alongside many amazing and knowledgeable licensed plumbers and gained countless knowledge from them by working alongside them. I’m very knowledgeable and comfortable with plumbing work overall, at this stage in my career I mainly assist my technicians with help on our day-to-day jobs that we face and take on tasks by myself as I’ve grown to a point in my career where I’m capable of working by myself with confidence in knowing I will get the job done correctly and in an timely fashion. I haven’t yet run my own truck in the service world, but am determined and ready to work towards that goal if given the opportunity.
