Summary

I have always had a passion for building ever since I was a kid building skate ramps in my parents backyard. Throughout the years I have strived to improve on my carpentry skills starting from rough framing and now getting into fine woodworking. I own a wide variety of tools and a 2019 Dodge Promaster cargo van to transport those tools and raw materials. Talented carpenter offering over 5 years of experience in many different environments. Well-organized planner with good multitasking and time management skills. Knowledgeable about both rough and finish carpentry techniques. Successful at managing projects and people.
