Summary

Bringing 22 years of experience into life's next endeavor, I strive to continue learning and improving daily. I have spent my life in the heavy construction trades, growing up the son of a trucker/equipment operator, I learned from an early age the value in hard work, learning all I learned from an early age the value in hard work, learning all I can and aiming for higher mountains to climb. I've traveled all across this great nation with work and in 2009, was even called and asked to work overseas in the country of Equatorial Guinea in Western Africa. There, myself and the crew built the foundation for the Presidential Library directly for President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo. I have been asked to work in Russia as well building a pipeline but chose not to. i enjoy work, the experiences and the people I meet along the way. Looking forward to meeting and discussing more with you.
