Summary
I am a hard-working individual with 10+ years of experience in the construction industry. I have worked in diverse environments such as oil&gas, nuclear, auto, tech, pharmaceutical, and more. I started my journey in Southwest Louisiana as an apprentice where I worked for mechanical contractors at places like Phillip 66, Entergy, Sasol, etc. As opportunities came I would join the Union and begin to travel all over the U.S working shut-downs and new construction projects. Which led me to get certified in things like Orbital Welding, pipefitting, rigging and more. Later on I started to grow and take on more responsibility by accepting roles such as being a Mechanical Foreman, Welding Supervisor, and now Mechanical General Foreman/Estimator. My knowledge stretches past mechanical and piping scopes of work. I’ve had my own business running residential remodels and I have a vast knowledge of general construction.
