Summary

I was born and raised on a farming/logging operations. I have been involved with many of the daily operations of the farm and helped with moving, operating, and maintaining equipment on the weekend. I have operated excavator, bulldozer in the past and operate tractor on a weekly basis now. I own my own farm animals so am responsible for their well being and care. I have been dog grooming for the last 8 years and had my own grooming shop for the last 6 years. I am willing to work hard and do whatever is needed to get the job done.
