Summary

Dedicated Apprentice Carpenter promoting positive work ethic. Knowledgeable in safety processes and trim installation.

Looking to bring further success to a company through excellent attention to detail and hard work. Currently I work mostly independently which I find to be helpful when learning to problem solve, but may hinder me as far as truly learning as an apprentice. I hope to find a company that gives me that option to grow and learn under the guidance of someone more knowledgeable than I. I do not have an extensive knowledge outside of trim and small finish related carpentry but I learn quickly and always aim to provide high quality work. I bring a positive attitude and good energy.
