Summary
I have over 15 years of construction and maintenance experience. Ranging from small residential projects to extremely large commercial and government funded projects. Over this time period I have learned skills with a large variety of hand tools, power tolls and light-heavy equipment. I have experience as a leader of crews and how to work well with other in a work crew to achieve a common task and get a project done proficiently and in a manor that does so safely while mitigating cost properly. I am very hard working, diligent and I enjoy and thrive by receiving new challenges and getting them complete so the projects or repairs are done and work can continue.
