Summary
I am a professional with over ten years of experience in concrete and other trades. Hard work and labor intensive jobs do not bother me. Critical thinking, working under pressure or time constraints, and being part of a team are all things that I do well. Organization, attention to detail, safety oriented, and handling responsibilities well are all assets I bring to the workplace. I am a quick learner and I am willing to learn new skills and adapt to new tasks. Loyalty, honesty, and integrity are core values to me.
