Summary
Starting with my experience with Mobile Services Industrial, I first learned the skills of keeping a clean workspace and doing things right the first time. This led to working on more and more mechanical systems and engines, specializing in chipper shredders and small engines. I have a wide variety of experience. Then, moving briefly to Bennett paving, I learned about working on HD trucks, paving equipment, and many wiring systems. I have most recently found myself working for Lehne Construction as an intern field engineer.
