Summary

Self motivated problem solving professional whose highly effective in leading, supervising and planning while using independent decisions making skills and sound judgements to positively input Companies success.

I was raised by hardworking Parents who started an Oil Company from nothing and owned it 34 years. They instilled in me by working hard, and giving my very best in all things I do, that it can only lead to a productive and happy life.

I'm Computer knowledgeable, obsessed to be the best I possibly can be, well liked and extremely good at getting the very best out of myself, the people I'm leading, teaching, or just working with.

I kept our family business open for almost 3 years longer than it was going to be open by trying to give it the maximum amount for success by taking on the field superintendents job, as well as still doing my own Forman job, just trying to give our company the very best chance of success. I have no quit and I'm very proud of that.

I played football for Indiana State University with dreams of NFL until a 2nd year injury cost me the dream and my degree there, but, I never gave up and got my Associates Degree 16 years later while earning it Magna Cum Laude with a 3.71gpa.

Im looking for a Company that has been in business for a long time, or one that will be, as im 52 years old( but feel like im 30) and need a stable job for the next 20 years as i have to put my retirement nest egg away. I am not limited physically or mentally while im in extremely good shape, intelligent, dependable, trustworthy and very motivated. I can count on my 2 hands the number of days I've had to call in sick or miss work due to unforseen circumstances in 35 years of working. DEPENDABLE!

Started a Family Business that lasted 6 years so I know how hard it is to own and run a successful business, as in, the workers/employees needed to keep the business thriving. I am 100% that worker for you as I AM A WORKING MAN.

I am divorced and my 2 beautiful and successful daughters are grown so you can count on me to be on time, at work everyday, for as many days as you need me

I believe in myself so much that I believe there no job out there I can not due, learn to do, or give you so much trying to do it you wouldn't want to get rid of me. Very qualified in construction areas, very Professional in Commercial and Residential Drywall and Painting. Qualified in mold, fire and water damages sites, water remediation and done some custom homes. I can also work in all areas of a warehouse and I'm forklift certified and ran most all construction equipment as well as some heavy machinery. Ive Driven some box trucks and carrier vans long and short hauls as well for a spell. Thank-you for your time...
