Coalgate,OK
Summary
With a strong foundation in hard work, punctuality, perseverance, and problem-solving skills gained through my father's mechanic shop and my uncle's metal building business, I have consistently engaged in various tasks such as vehicle repairs and constructing metal buildings. As my interest in the outdoors developed, I pursued degrees in Fisheries & Wildlife and Wildland Firefighting. Working at The Nature Conservancy enhanced my abilities in land preservation and stewardship. Motivated by the desire to apply my knowledge and experience in a broader context, I established TM Land Management Services. As a business owner for the past 5 years, I have acquired valuable skills in paperwork administration, deadline management, financial oversight, customer communication, and executing diverse job requirements.
