Summary
I've been working as a mechanic for about 20 years, though I have worked on equipment for most of my life. I have experience on a wide range of equipment with heavy equipment being my strongest point. Safety is always an important part of the job because as equipment mechanics, a lot of the stuff we do could injure or kill us if not done properly. Authorized to work in the US for any employer
