Summary
- I have worked out of Union 192 in Cheyenne, WY, for 17 years, and that's the reason why I change jobs so often, because as we finish one job, I wait to be sent to the next one. I've relocated to Smithwick SD, now and left the Air Force base in Rapid, hoping to find local work so I can be closer to home. With 36 years of plumbing experience, including a 21-year tenure holding a South Dakota plumbing license, I excel in hydraulic systems maintenance and troubleshooting. At PMI, I led projects ensuring plumbing code compliance and mastering valve repair, demonstrating my adeptness with both hand and power tools and a commitment to continuous learning and safety. Determined Plumber brings extensive background in pipe inspection and emergency repair. Installs fittings, sealing leaks, and replacing plumbing components. Offers good customer service and math skills.
