Summary

Professional Laborer for all things construction with a hand in management and sales. I have a lot of other "jobs" I have worked that aren't listed where I've done sales related work, assistant/clerical work at a Vet clinic, and a diverse bit of anything to do with working outside.

In high school I was a Texas FFA Member, as well as an Officer of the Wylie FFA Chapter. I served as an officer for 3 years in different positions, these were Student Advisor, Secretary, and Vice President. During my time I worked very hard to attain my Texas FFA Lonestar Degree. In the process of doing so I also learned many skills such as communication, public speaking, Meeting with business owners and proposing ideas and plans to generate revenue for our chapter, and a handful of other great people skills that have shaped me into person I needed to be to enter the workforce.
