PERSONAL STATEMENT
In my 21+ years as a drafter / designer I have maintained a strong work
ethic and focus on detail. I consider myself a tradesman constantly
perfecting his craft. My immediate goal is to graphically convey an idea
from the planning and engineering phases straight through to the field or
fabrication shop in the most simple straightforward way possible. My career
goal is to soon become a Job Captain, overseeing all aspects of this
process, from adhering to company CAD standards to producing clear drawings
with an economy of effort.
