III. RELEVANT EXPERIENCE

  • I have always loved working on vehicles including motorcycles, small family cars, pickup trucks and trailers. My experience ranges from small maintenance tasks such as checking fuses, grinding frame rust and changing oil, up to more complicated jobs such as swapping air intake systems, cleaning a throttle body, swapping A/C condensers and re-wiring the 7-pin plug on truck and trailer ends.
  • I have also worked on renovations throughout my life and am familiar with framing, roofing, concrete work, tiling, plumbing and electrical, as well as most the hand and power tools associated with these trades.
