*********@*******.***

Summary

Outlook

My diverse construction experiences offer an extensive background in carpentry and general construction. I

have gathered a strong record for achievement and dependability, while providing assistant construction

operations management, personnel leadership and skilled labor in both residential and commercial job site

settings. Currently, I am continuing my education to broaden my knowledge and business experiences in and

out of the classroom to further my professional career.

Foreword to employment

From 2002 to the present, I have done numerous side jobs or part time jobs in the construction field. These side

jobs have included, but are not limited to custom home improvements, renovations, demolition, basic repairs,

and new construction. I started this professionally with home remodels. The most current construction job was

the McCarran C Gates remodel for Sletten Construction, which was successfully completed in the beginning of

2013.

Pre-Employment History

Starting at a young age I worked for a multiple construction companies. Acquiring direct knowledge of land and

housing development from the beginning to end phases. It was at this time I realized the importance of business

relationships, cash flow, scheduling and time management. This has guided me throughout my business life.

There are many professional experiences that are not listed within this page in relation to my professional

history but feel free to ask.
