Summary

I am a second-generation Forest Technician. I have been working in the oil and gas industry since my children were born and I am looking for a transition to be home more and share my love of the woods with my family.

I am devoted and hard working, and bring a career of supervisor experience. In my forties I am a capable coach and believe that my ability to support my staff is the key their success, and success every project.
