Summary

Over the past 15 years I have worked in many different aspects of construction. I take great pride in the work I do, whether it be on the job site or at home. I am a reliable self-starter who can work alone or in a group. I am searching for a new place of employment due to possible seasonal shutdown and I am looking for an opportunity to work year round in an industry that I enjoy
