Summary
I am a skilled carpenter with 14 years experience on the tools. I can run crews of any kind and have always been liked and respected by the crews I have run. I believe that building a team spirit and camaraderie is vital for productivity.
I can read blueprints and build any building.
I am open to new opportunity as well! I enjoy running equipment [most of my experiences is with graders/trackhoe/backhoe and skid steers]
I should note I am a US citizen and a permanent resident of Canada and am willing to travel.
Clean record, both driving and with the law.
