I have 28 plus years of underground mining experience in Coal, Copper,
Potash and Salt. I have a very diverse knowledge of all forms of mining
from room and pilar, longwall headgate and tailgate development to Block
and Cave. I have great leadership skills and always put safety as my daily
demand and goal. I am a good mentor to others and always willing to work
extra shifts as needed.
