Summary

I’ve been fortunate enough to have had a wide range of jobs in our Union.

From finish grade on road jobs for Miller Equipment, to fast paced under ground with G.W. at Owens Lake in Lone Pine .

I’ve done fire clean up and tree removal for the high speed rail and the 99 freeway.

From big dirt at Isabella Dam for Sukut,

to my most recent job at Herman Weissker at the Bakersfield refinery.

These jobs have given me a lot of experience in different areas of the trade.

both in skill and safety.

I would love to share these experiences with the next generation of operators.

I believe these opportunities along life’s path could enable me to be a good fit for an apprentice instructor.

My Sundays spent preaching at local churches helps me to speak comfortably in front of crowds.

It also gives me a heart that wants to see my brothers in the trade excel both in life and work.

Hope I can be seriously consider for this job.

Helping people grow is my passion in life.
