Summary

Im 21 years old I've been working since 15 my current job is working in an automotive body shop, but I also did various jobs such as construction sites, digging trenches, picking tomatoes, and other vegetables. Also worked at almond companies, dairy's and in power plants. I have quite bit of experience which include, operating front end loaders for long periods of time, days nights, driving skid steers, forklifts, both regular propane operated and diesel ones, all types of tractors, ten speed shuttles, tilthandlers. In addition I also speak, read, and write fluent English and Spanish. I have a valid California class c drivers license and can drive standard and automatic. I grew up in the country side, I'm not bothered by dirt mud, sand, heat, cold or rain. I have a high school diploma and am a fast learner, I can learn anything I am shown. I am confident in taking pride in my work and always try to do my best. I worked as an agricultural mechanic and I did a lot of service work for mostly dairy and farm equipment, such as A/C, adding new parts, changing oils, changing fuel, oil, hydraulic, air, A/C filters and blowing out radiators with air to remove all dirt while also doing regular maintenance and tune ups in gas trucks and cars. I also change tires off trucks and tractors and know the importance of taking care of equipment. I'm self motivated, have my own goals, ambitions, and I'm willing to work as hard as I can to fulfill them.
