Summary
Experienced heavy equipment operator with a diverse background in various construction roles, including operations,superintendent, general foreman, foreman, pipe laying, grade checking/engineering, carpentry, concrete pump operation, forming, and pit experience. Throughout my career, I have observed a decline in the dynamics, craftsmanship, and overall quality of work in the construction industry. As someone who has transitioned into construction management, my goal is to ensure proper, safe, and exceptional execution of work. I have collaborated closely with esteemed organizations such as the City of Issaquah, Bellevue, Renton, King County, WSDOT, Seattle Public Utilities, and other agencies, building strong relationships that have been instrumental in my success.
