Summary
I have established and operated a successful construction company for the past 10 years. I have been faced with adversity and great success. These opposing forces have instilled an ability to face tasks head on and find concise solutions to obstacles in a fast paced environment. Throughout my developmental years my skills and knowledge in relation business management, equipment maintenance, operation and safe work practices have grown stronger and increased in efficiency. I will be a strong addition to the Fire service as I present numerous technical and tactical skill sets that I have acquired by involving myself in a multitude of contrasting work environments. My experience and passion to become a member of your Department and protect the citizens and property that has shaped who I am today.
