Detroit,MI

Summary

40 years of life and work experience has allowed me to be able to multi-task, follow directions, learn procedures and protocols quickly, to work and get along with fellow employees. Not licensed, but mechanically capable in most cases and able to problem solve uniquely and satisfactorily well for most situations. In those years, I've been privileged to gain the experience to be able to operate: pallet jacks, hi-los, skid loaders, steam rollers, backhoes, excavators, and other construction and building equipment. If given a chance at a career opportunity with room to learn, advance, and excell, I believe I could become a valued asset to the company
