As a professional painter, with 15 years experience, I've had the opportunity to perform
in all aspects of the industry. I have used my talents and skills to reach goals that I have
set for myself, as well as goals that were put in place by the company. I have devoted
myself as an artist, a leader, and a person, but most importantly, earned the reputation of
placing my integrity as my highest priority. I'm proudly devoted to my work; at being
organized, motivated, creative, dedicated, problem solving, dependable, and professional.
I work to complete projects with speed, precession, accuracy, and under budget. This
mindset is what brings me the greatest satisfaction, and in turn, achieves the maximum
profits for the owner without sacrificing the quality of my craftsmanship. I have worked
with owners and designers to not only produce what they envisioned, but defy what they
thought to be possible.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS
• I have organization management skills. For example, I've managed several job
sights that were spread across multiple states, simultaneously.
• I am innovative. For example, I streamlined the creation of "Quick Reference
Estimation" binders for faux/traditional paint finishes.
• I am a teacher. For example, I have been an instructor of special finish/faux
painting classes for people that range from beginners to experts.
• I achieve results. For example, there have been many situations where the
odds of finishing a particular job or project were very unlikely. The
responsibility was then handed over to me, in hopes that I could assemble the
necessary people and resources to accomplish the task. These projects/jobs
were always completed on time, with the proper specifications met.
