Summary

I've been in construction for about 11 years, 8 or so around heavy equipment. I'm used to working long hours and weekends. I'm very career motivated with a good work ethic. I've always understood how important the small things are like being on time daily, being consistent, and trying to do things the right way. I'm not afraid to try new things and I'm always trying to learn to get better at what I do. Outside of my family my career is the most important thing to me.
