Over the course of those 33 years I have operated bull dozers, (track type and rubber tire), back hoes, excavators, loaders,(track type and rubber tire), all scrapers from the small finish scraper the largest 657 twin engine model, skid steers, motor graders, water trucks and hydraulic cranes,,, Over the years while operating these pieces of equipment I have completed safely and productively many different tasks associated with the functions of all the mentioned equipment. From slope work in mountainsides, finish grade work, underground pipeline work, road building and road maintenance, landfill operations, open pit mining operations, large and small demolition projects, and basic grading jobs, I have owned my own equipment and have contracted small grading and demolition jobs, I have also been a supervisor for many years and have a get it done personality. I am familiar with all phases of construction projects and take pride in completing a project in a safe and timely manner while always using strong work ethics and morals to ensure satisfaction to the customer and employee alike.

I also worked as a Heavy Equipment Operator trainer for 3 years for Associated Training Service. I taught a standardized curriculum by NCCER as a national standard set forth to efficiently train heavy equipment operators. I taught in a classroom setting and also field training for students of all ages and from all different backgrounds.

I have been working at Fort Irwin, Ca. as heavy equipment for the last 3 years, however I am currently unemployed because of government cutbacks.

If my knowledge can be used in a training or safety position I am also interested in that opportunity.
