Summary
I am a personable, reliable, hardworking individual. I want to learn at all times and have found that outdoor work and physical tasks are my place to work. I have been at this trade of Groundsman to Tree Climbing since I was 15 years old. I worked fulltime and homeschooled to obtain my high school graduation early. Climbing techniques, complemented by skills in rigging and use of climbing equipment, has taught me to be committed to ensuring safety and efficiency in all tasks to contribute to a well-maintained and thriving environment. This has helped me as I apply myself to other avenues of work such as Wildfire Firefighting and now seeking a position as a manual laborer for a company such as yours. I understand the value of working hard and moving up a ladder when possible. I hold my Class 5 license and have a clean record. I am on time to a job worksite and have my own transportation.
