Caleb Wheeler

Summary
My name is Caleb Wheeler and for 7 years I worked as a Millwright with Mid-States Millwright and Builders. I did heavy labor and eventually got to a supervisor role and led a crew of workers. Later I moved on to John Deere and worked as a Maintenance Technician repairing, maintaining, and putting in new parts to keep equipment running. I eventually went back to Mid-States and ran a crew. I worked at a grain elevator loading semis, repairing equipment, and running heavy machinery. I’m a hard worker that works well with others and I’m always open to do something new and I do my best at what I do.
