Summary

I have a good attention to detail, and I enjoy doing quality work. High quality work is the only way to do it in my eyes. I like to repair equipment and machines. I stay safe by following all safety precautions and procedures. I have a love for working with my hands it gives me a sense of peace and accomplishment. I like to keep a written list to keep myself on track and keep my time management skills in check. I love to learn new skills and jobs to increase my usefulness.

I don’t mind weather extremes I have welded and worked in the snow and the blistering heat, it don’t matter.

I have previous used man lifts.
