Summary
Landscape and irrigation foreman with proven expertise at Well Groomed Lawns, excelling in problem-solving and pipe installation. Enhanced client satisfaction through innovative troubleshooting and effective team management, ensuring timely project completion. Recognized for developing maintenance schedules that improved system efficiency and minimized downtime, showcasing attention to detail and dependability. I grew up operating heavy equipment so I started operating with the local 49 and got a job doing dirt work, specifically finish grading. During a couple of off seasons I began plumbing for Pete's Plumbing for cash. Eventually, I realized I enjoyed plumbing more than operating and began to do it full-time. I am currently employed at Well Groomed Lawns until I find a different plumbing job. My dad's cousin owns Pete's Plumbing and it just didn't end up working out.
