While at Revere, I worked in the production area involved with the assembly and manufacturing of industrial control panels and their enclosures. I also gained CAD drawing software skills, as well as running a CNC milling machine. Also, in my time there, I became very proficient in the vast inventory and supply system. Some duties also included being able to crate large panels to be then shipped across the world.

Premier Landscape and Ag solutions is my business that I started in 2018 while still in high school. What started as a kid cutting grass turned into the maintenance and contracted projects with small crews on everything from small residential properties to large estates, farms, and commercial properties. The scope of services has included everything from the excavation and installation of large drainage, paddock maintenance of horse farms, irrigation, animal transport and care, as well as land clearing, tree service, and forestry mulching. This has all been work in which I have had success and continue to do outside of my current obligations.
