Summary

With a proven track record as a Handyman, I excel in delivering top-notch home improvement solutions, from drywall installation to project management. My adeptness in relationship building, combined with expert handling of power tools, ensures customer satisfaction. The passion of building relationships and providing an excellent service is what led me to venture out to start my own business. Before starting my Handyman career, I began right out of High school in the printing industry. I dedicated 10 years to learn the printing process and developed my printing skills. From hand jogging printed products to setting up and operating web offset presses, I moved up in the ranks to secure a spot as a proud 1st pressman. After the closure of my employer, I worked in direct care at Florida State Hospital helping developmentally disabled patients in everyday living. I was given education of proper de-escalation and transport techniques of patients in the event of any behavior issues. With precised written and verbal communication with the administration, the teams were able to provide proper careplans for the patients. After my short time with the State of Florida, I began I career in the Manufacturing of Elevators. My career at Mowery elevators helped develop my skills in welding and building. I took advantage of learning how to build electrical components, program, test and troubleshoot them. My interest in wood working took off while working in the cabinet shop. From laminating to cutting and finishing the cabs of the elevator, I gained precised knowledge and techniques. I then moved to Kingsland Georgia and began working in Jacksonville Florida at Trend Offset Printing. I moved into a 2nd pressman role , where I excelled once again in the printing industry. After a short time there, I moved right around the corner to Malnove. It is a highly acknowledged printed company that specializes in food certain packaging. There I learned a great amount on sheetfed printing knowledge. I began in an entry level position as a feeder operator, but then moved quickly into a second pressman position. I helped the team in producing record numbers in production and quality. With my help and dedication, we were able to pass numerous audits with little to no issues. With my work ethic and dedication, I was also being considered of a promotion of a 1st pressman. But due to personal reasons, I had to forfeit the promotion and seek other employment, where I then began My Handyman career.
