Summary

America was built on the backs of blue collar men, I am proud to be a part of that community. I heard about this opportunity today and immediately knew i needed to do everything i could to reach for it. I am a hard working man, dedicated father of 3, and husband. Earning THIS opportunity to utilize my experience, work ethic, leadership skills, eagerness to learn while remaining trainable, on top of mechanical skills and knowledge I've learned over the years is my goal. THIS is the CAREER I've been working toward. One that my wife and children can be proud of and used as inspiration to show my kids hard work and dedication can take you wherever you want to go in life. I've been wrenching ever since i could hold one. I've worked on cars, trucks, semi's, cranes, and large Alaskan crab/fishing boats. From body work, to everything under the hood, interiors and down to the wheels. I'd love to be in a position that holds room for growth and longevity. A True Career.

With a proven track record at Abbott Construction, I excel in carpentry expertise and problem-solving, ensuring high-quality craftsmanship and client satisfaction. My continuous learning mindset and proficiency in carpentry have contributed to successful projects, showcasing my dedication to excellence and professional growth.

I'd like to thank you for taking your time out to go over my resume, i appreciate it and I look forward to hopefully hearing from you soon.
