Summary

Equipment operator with six years of experience operating a multitude of pieces. I have worked in many different environments, from the prairies to the Rocky Mountains, and I enjoy learning from the challenges that each new job brings. I've held many different positions to accommodate whatever task the team may need done at any given time, and I am able to work independently when needed, and I look forward to new challenges.
