Summary
Starting off about myself, i have been in the construction industry since i have graduated high back in 2015 to current date 2/18/25, 10 years and 2 months. I started as a laborer working for s&s construction. I was with them for a little over 3 years which my foreman and superintendent were Eric Andasola and Troy Peterson. I started operating machines as well when i started working for them. Year 2019 to 2/27/2023, i started working for Fastrack construction. Reason for starting was better pay than prior job and former superintendent started as well so I went with him. I was started as a operator and forman handling jobs with a crew including digging foundations, installing new utilities for houses, backfill and preps for garage slabs, sidewalks and driveways. I have been able to read blueprints as well, machinary wise i have operated a dozer, excavators, mini x, skids, rollers, loaders, and a scrapper (1 year experience). I have also welded for companies and have had x-rays and had bend tests done to work. I own and run Castillo’s welding LLC here in Colorado on weekends and if needed after work as well. I myself have always been reliable to attend every work day as needed, sick or not. Very dependable as well and a quick learner and always up for a new challenge.
