Summary
Results-driven professional with a robust foundation in leadership and hands-on expertise, uniquely qualified to excel as a landscaping foreman. My career began at age thirteen with Royal Lawns Inc., where I honed comprehensive skills in hardscapes, softscapes, trimming, mowing, and all facets of landscaping until joining the U.S. Navy—laying a solid groundwork for managing diverse crews. As an Aviation Electrician’s Mate, I guided junior sailors to maintain aircraft readiness within three months of earning Plane Captain status. I further demonstrated leadership as a foreman overseeing eight team members at Valmont Industries and mentored peers at Elliott Aviation, ensuring precision and safety. This blend of early landscaping mastery and proven team leadership positions me well to support and lead a landscaping crew.
