Summary
Arrogant is probably the best word to describe how I feel about my knowledge, skills and abilities as an Electro Magnetic Locator however I'm humble enough to know I'll always be learning something new about it all every day. I really do enjoy the puzzle solving aspect of my trade and helping others better understand the whole process of the 811 One Call system. It is unfortunately to easy to undervalue or down play just how much we Locators help to protect our community and keep all the small things in our lives functioning as normal, and I believe that with proper communication we can (and i have) change minds and attitudes towards locators overall. In short I care deeply about how I effect others with my actions as well as strive to constantly learn and understand new information relative to this industry to make life better for everyone.
