Summary
Transitioning from an agriculture background to the remodeling trade in 2020, I quickly developed a passion for working with tools and honing my skills. Starting as a helper for lake home renovations with a local contractor, I gained hands-on experience in plumbing, carpentry, and electrical work. Joining 'Rebath' in Texas specialized in comprehensive bathroom remodeling, excelling in fixing bathrooms with water damage and updating plumbing systems. Over the past 4 years in San Antonio and middle Georgia, I tackled various projects from subfloor replacements to drywall finishing. With nearly 5 years of remodeling experience, including my own repair jobs on exterior structures, I am eager to take on new challenges and continue growing as a skilled craftsman. As of 2024, I became a foreman for a construction site, hotel build. I have learned a lot from the commercial side of construction, training new people and working with big teams to get a whole build done. I have learned to prioritize quality work and time goals due to inspections, maintaining the jobsite when the general contractor wasn't present. My knowledge has expanded significantly in framing and concrete work due to the general contractor handling most of it in-house.
