Summary

I am a hard-working, time oriented person with a strong initiative. Most of my professional experience is construction but I make it a point to work hard and learn something new and try to perform better every day. I have a broad knowledge of many trades and I am able to translate that into my professional life. I work well with others and I am not afraid to ask questions when necessary.
