Summary
I am a skilled Heavy Equipment Mechanic Apprentice with a solid background in maintaining, repairing, and overhauling heavy vehicles and construction equipment. On top of my mechanical skills, I have extensive fabrication and welding experience, as well as basic machining. I regularly spend my free time building and restoring projects to refine my skills. Most notably, an off-road Mustang and a fully restored 1964 fishing boat. I started my apprenticeship as a truck and trailer technician, then moved to equipment. I'm aiming to achieve my Red Seal in the next 18 months.
