Proficient in heavy equipment operation and landscape design, delivering exceptional curb appeal through innovative techniques.

I enjoy working in the outdoors/being in the outdoors, and I'm not a stranger to hard, manual labor.

I work well alone, as well as with other people.

I can be an exceptional part of a collaborative effort (aka team player), as well as a single unit.

I am fluent in both English, and Spanish, with exceptional communication skills in both languages.
