Summary

I am a Construction Engineering major, and a Colorado native. I have a solid balance of technical skills and character. Working for my dad, strict managers, strict ROTC instructors, and going to a tough college has taught me a lot about the importance of character and work ethic. I also grew up around job sites and excavators, which I always enjoyed. I am looking for a job for this summer and am willing to work however I need to prove myself.
