Summary
After recently selling my small business that employed 14 people in the mobile fleet washing industry, my wife and I have relocated to Carling township. I currently am the general contractor on the construction and finishing of our Pioneer Log home. With the winter season approaching, I am looking for a seasonal position to supplement our day to day living expenses over the winter. I have a clean drivers abstract and cvor, and have 25 years experience building, owning and maintaining a fleet of 4 industrial mobile wash trucks. I feel my experience would benefit the Fowlers team.
