Summary

Hello, my name is Carlos Rodriguez. I am a hard working father of one. I have a wide variety of skills and do not feel limited to learning anything, i always try to learn something new to personally get myself to become more knowledgeable and valuable as an individual and ultimately a better asset to an employer. I try to be as professional as possible. I am very detail oriented as a carpenter working in Pebble Beach, Ca room for error and wasted material is very minimal and frowned upon. I am good at multitasking and completing different tasks at once. Athletic and willing to work hard
