Summary
I have an extensive background in landscaping and construction, ranging from planting trees to changing out sprinkler heads. In the past two years I have extended knowledge in heavy equipment. What had started out with mowing grass and using a small skid steer on a daily basis, blossomed into running larger equipment such as Caterpillar bulldozers and Articulating dump trucks. Although I have experience in these fields, it does not limit me to only that. I am looking to move away from the construction industry, and maybe into something more professional, something I can make a career out of. Experience I have had 5+ years in construction and landscaping. Before that, while in high school, I worked full time at Zaxby's for 3 years. I graduated as an honor graduate from the military. I have done sub-contractor work for O.B. Builders on and off for the last 2 years as well. Ranging from installing doors and windows, to doing hardwood floors.
