Summary

Experienced in many types of hands on work. Auto mechanics are my specialty, but I am also experienced in buildings and grounds, light plumbing and electrical, and IT. I have lived in New England most of my life, so I am experienced with outdoor work that involves all 4 seasons. Such as snow removal, and lawn and garden cleanup and maintenance.
