Summary
I'm hard working and dependable. I've worked in contract construction for 5 plus years. I did my line apprenticeship through a municipality power company, for the city of Leesburg in Leesburg, Fl. A year after completing my apprenticeship I decided to make the transition to outside line construction to further my education of the line industry. I feel it was the correct decision. In have traveled a little around the country and learned new techniques. It has made me better as a person and better as a lineman. Meeting new people and seeing how other's from different parts of the country work and acquiring new skills I may have never learned if i didn't make the sacrifice.
