Summary
I am a motivated individual who enjoys a hard days work and the feeling of accomplishment that comes with it. Over the course of 10+ years of experience I have aquired a wealth of skills and experience in various roles within the oil and gas industry, as well as achieving my Journeyman Red Seal as a welder. This experience has given me a unique outlook on how I believe work should be completed in order to ensure tasks are completed safely while keeping productivity at top of mind.
Outside of work, I am a dedicated father who enjoys spending time with my son and family, fishing, hunting and generally anything to do with the outdoors. I try and use my time away from work to refocus myself so that I can perform to the best of my abilities.
Given the opportunity I would like to bring these skills as well as my positive attitude towards my occupation to your organization in any way that will benefit my coworkers and help me to advance in my career within the oilfield. I look forward to discussion potential employment opportunities further.
