Summary

I have been in the construction trade for twenty five plus years, in those twenty five plus years. I've been fortunate enough to have learned a very diverse skill set, which in turn has given me the ability to adapt quickly and have a higher sense of situational awareness.

I want to begin first by telling you that I understand, that we work in a very high danger/potential accident type industry. My first and foremost priority no matter what position held on a job, is the safety of myself and my team. Quality and efficiency come in for a close tie for second place.

I would consider myself to be very punctual. I have a very firm understanding that representation of the company in a positive manner on all levels, leads to new and/or continued business. Which in turn leads to job security on all fronts.

I've had the opportunity to represent past employers with face to face customer relations. Having been in government infrastructure contracting for quite some time now. Many of the end users I regularly interfaced with, were very high ranking respected members of our military along with inspectors and vendors.

Although I have excelled rapidly in this type of job function for previous employers. I will say. I enjoy nothing more than running and operating heavy equipment. I have always had a real connection with machinery and prefer it to clerical type work, hands down.

I am a firm believer that when working with and/or running a crew. There is no better way to train or earn the respect of that crew, than to never ask them to perform work that I myself would not be willing perform.

I take and prefer a very hands on physical approach to teaching and learning.

With all my experience I understand there is something new to learn everyday, if you choose to. No idea is a bad idea. Especially if will make the job at hand more efficient, safer, and/or of higher quality.

I would like to thank you for your time and consideration for a position with your company.

If you have any further questions or concerns for myself. Please don't hesitate to contact me.

Take care & God bless.
