Career Summary

I would like to use my experience in Public Works at the Public Works Director position  by ensuring that all jobs are performed properly and safely by training and educating the employees. While at the same time taking care of the City that I grew up in and love, also taking care of the guys that make up the Public Works crews. I feel knowing this town as well as I do and also knowing the crew allows me to make the best decisions possible not only for the city but also for the safety and well- being of the crews. The amount of pride I have in what I do not only makes me a perfect candidate for this position for the city, but also for the Public works crew as well.
