Summary

The youngest of 5 brothers and 1 sister, with a hardworking, self-sustaining, farm and orchard upbringing, I have been working for as long as I can remember. I started running chainsaw doing silviculture at the age of 19 including helli-tree planting and selective tree falling. I have leadership and management skills having operated the insulation department for South Okanagan Insulation and Roofing. I am a proud father of 4, well rounded, capable, young adults. In great physical shape, I bring knowledge in all sorts of fields and am always eager to learn and grow. I get along with everyone, take direction well, and I'm not afraid to ask questions to clarify if im unsure about something. I believe safety is a priority. I am single with a drama free life. I would like the opportunity to work for your company.


Yours truly,


Mike Balat
