I have a proven track record of success in many different areas of mechanics, fabrication, and construction. From machining precision parts to exact specifications, interpreting drawings, and maintaining complex machinery; to building decks, giving estimates, and coordinating with other trades or departments while working toward a common goal; my expertise in general mechanics, tooling, and troubleshooting has enabled me to consistently produce high-quality results that exceed customer expectations.
