James Nix

Installation supervisor for my family’s business. I run a crew installing, servicing, and replacing anything to do with fireplaces. For example (gas logs, wood fireplaces, outdoor kitchens, chimney shrouds, etc). With this I’ve gained many skills in order to complete jobs (framing, running gas line, problem solving, communication skills, roof work, etc).

Separate from my job I have been cleaning chimneys on my own accord for the past two years.

Landscaper at Cutting Edge. We cut roughly 150 yards a week ranging from residential to commercial yards. I know how to operate weed eaters, stand-up or sit-down mowers, leaf blowers, hedge trimmers, chainsaws etc. We also did hardscape like mulching, pavers and more.

For many years my family has had a farm in Oxford, Ga. We have built a house and apartment/barn on the property in which I helped in the process. We are big time hunters so we spend lots of time plowing/planting fields and maintaining trails. In the past I have worked with a family friend that kept horses. He taught me how to work with horses, how to maintain stalls and the horses themselves, and how to saddle up and ride.
