Summary
I am a motivated young adult. I graduated high school early from Lone Star High school in Frisco, Texas. Shortly after I got a Class A commercial drivers license and graduated with my Lineman Certificate, in late May 2025 from Northwest Lineman College (NLC), at the same time I would have graduated high school. I have been working at Davey Tree Co. for 8 months. I am currently the youngest employee doing my particular role; operating the digger derrick, pulling and climbing poles. My goal is to be a power lineman that can work with power and journey out in the coming years.
