Summary

I have a background in a lot of trades over the years. With plumbing and heating that I've done the longest. I ran crews on the road, I also owned my own business at one point. I have a strong work ethic and can do just about anything in maintaining equipment from residential to commercial. I've ran heavy equipment from bulldozers, excavator, forklifts, backhoe, and skidders at oz gas for couple years.
