Summary

I started working at a young age. Work is something that has been a part of my life and has shown me the importance of it and what it can teach. I started out working on my family farm and trucking operation at 8 years old and started to get paid at 12. This job consisted of irrigating, tractor work, mechanic work, truck driving, construction, managing crop growth, business skills, etc.

I have experience in many different subjects. I have spent time driving tractor-trailers, tractors, as well as small and heavy equipment.

Whenever a problem occurs in my job field, I am quick and intuitive to problem solve and get production back up and going.

There have been times where I have been in management positions overseeing groups of people to get a certain task done.
