Summary
Starting in high school up to now, devoting almost 10 years to the blue-collar automotive industries and associated fields, I feel I have a good attention to detail for the way machines and systems work. I am easy to teach, and ready to learn all that there is to know about how machines and heavy equipment operate and function. I enjoy being a valuable team player and strive to be an asset to my team and employer. I look forward to honing my skills as a troubleshooter and diagnostics specialist, and I feel like Caterpillar Decatur is an exceptional avenue to assist me with that goal.
