STEPHEN BUSH

Summary
Ive been in the auto/truck body industry for over 30 years..After multiple employers in the auto body industry went out of business I decided to get a CDL. I was driving for Pavestone until they closed their Branchville plant. I can operate a moffet, and forklift. I'm looking for job stability as I am almost 50 years old. I am very mechanically inclined and take pride in attention to detail and organization.
