Summary
As an accomplished Journeyman Plumber, I spent yrs working my way up thru the ranks and yet there isn't a company I've worked for where I didn't find myself at the end of a set of pipe wrenches or torch. I'm even the one writing this and the rest of my resume because A.I. couldn't figure it out. (Trust me, I tried more than 2 dozen times throughout this process) I possess skillsets in many areas from installing to managing, jackhammering to forecasting, detailing a job to scratching my head but at the end of the day my experience and working with others has always gotten the job done.
