Summary
During high school I attended Norther Tier Vo-Tec for electrical engineering.
After I graduated high school I worked for an Electrical Contractor as a junior electrician.
During my tenure at Bennett Hardwoods/Loyalsock Firewood Company I have worked extensively with:
- hydraulic systems, including installing new lines, cylinders, motors, and reservoir tanks.
- electrical systems, including wiring for dry kiln fan motors, main 100 amp motors that powered the hydraulic systems, and some but not limited to low voltage wiring for limit switches and start stop switches. I understand breaker panels and how and why they work and I am willing and able to learn more about large and small electrical systems.
-heavy equipment, I have accumulated many hours running forklifts both small and large, front end loaders, telescopic handlers, JLG scissor lifts, and boom lifts and I have a general understand on how to maintain such equipment.
