Summary

I began my working career with my father at age 12 working on cars in our garage. By age 15 I was able to do complete engine repair and changes transmissions. And basically anything related in that field.

I worked off the books at a local garage from 17yrs. Old to 19yrs.old.

From there I went into being a subcontractor and building houses from start to finish for approximately 6 years.

I've had several jobs ranging from those just explained all the way up to logging.

I have had a great deal of experience in quite a few different trades for a man of my age and I've learned to apply this knowledge in one way or another to almost every profession I've been in.
