Long Beach,CA
Summary
I am a sort of Jack of all trades. I have done a wide range of work. From pizza and retail as a kid, to machine shop, to mover as a young man. I ended up a Journeyman for Local 250. There I installed many different kinds of piping systems like, Copper, Carbon Steel, Stainless, Pneumatic, etc. After that I went into home restoration. I was a Production Manager for a company that follows storms and helps restore the city. There I was in charge of ordering all supplies, hiring our Sub-Contractors, Permitting etc. Feeling homesick I headed back to California. I operated a forklift for the last year plus, loading 20ft steel stock onto the trucks, after pulling the items from the order and bundling them. The real challenging part of operating a forklift on this yard is that it is on a dirt lot which is very uneven.
