Work Objectives
Looking to continue a stable innovative career in the earthworks construction field. Devoted to bringing my decade plus supervision experience as well as 15 plus year operating experience and continue to learn new company specific practices. Extensive experience with all sizes and varieties of heavy equipment. Very proficient in both heavy bulking and final trimming projects having led both from start to completion efficiently and safely. I have been in the earthworks field my entire life and am very driven and passionate in all aspects of construction. I am always excited to learn and improve my skills. I have successfully led to the completion of a vast variety of projects all the way from small commercial sites right up to large industrial plant recommissioning. Even in my spare time, I keep myself busy on extensive landscaping and home renovation projects honing my craft in both my personal and professional life. I am also a devoted family man to my wife and two kids. I view my work as an extension of those beliefs and I have consistently developed trusting relationships with colleagues, local contractors and landowners. I find this is invaluable for delivering fast, efficient and cost-effective solutions.
