Summary

I have worked at the Altoona Highway and Public Works Yard for 24 years. I have been able to see and learn many skills while stepping in to do and try many of the jobs available.

I feel that reaching out and taking advantage of this opportunity to become a foreman is a natural one and one I can succeed at if given the chance to prove myself.

I have proven myself as a hardworking general laborer with a dedicated work ethic and solid industry background. Knowledgeable with operations of heavy and light equipment to accomplish tasks. I also am reliable and works well in varying conditions.

I know I can put my best foot forward for the chance to help my fellow workers succeed in the job(s) we are expected to do, as a foreman. .

Work History

Sign Shop Technician

Altoona Highway Yard/Public Works Department
Altoona, Pa.
12.2000 - Current

My job is to create, paint, and install all necessary street signs to ensure my city's streets stay safe.

My job also requires me to be on-call for any sign removals and/or replacements that occur, no matter the time of day. It should be noted that I have never turned this part of the job down, and I take it very seriously.

Finally, my job also has me helping to create road lines, walkways, and other street markings to ensure that drivers and pedestrians stay safe.

I have also been asked to do the foreman job on occasion and felt I did a good job, and that this would be a good fit for me.

I also make sure that I am ready during the winter months in order to help get the plowing down, as needed. I also have never turned a shift down.

Serviceman/National Reserves

United States Army
USA/Iraq
1987 - 2005

I served my country in the Army and National Reserves for 14 years. I also served overseas in Iraq.

It was my responsibility to learn how to drive, maintain, and work on heavy machinery, especially tanks. I learned how to be a working part of a tight-knit unit, ready to fight and survive.

I was also expected to think on my feet and train to make sure I was a combat-ready, able-bodied soldier, along with the rest of my unit.

This is where I crafted my on-the-job readiness and work ethic, and is why I can think on my feet and problem-solve when needed. Being part of a team is the biggest skill I learned and why I feel I would make a good foreman.
