SKILLS
I have experience in operation of full size and mini excavators, skid steers and pay loaders with multiple bucket attachments. As well as bulldozers, rollers, skidders, and site trucks of different kinds and sizes. I would say I have good on-site troubleshooting skills. I always try to operate in a safe manner never trying to do things outside of my capabilities, safety first then teamwork. Also my head is always on a swivel when I am operating anything. I have been operating heavy equipment since as far back as I can remember because I used to go to work with my father, who has been an operator my whole life, and help him during summer break from school. Basically been in and around the construction field my entire life and I don't see myself doing anything different other than maybe carpentry since I have about 5 years experience doing framing, siding, window and door installation, roofing, insulation, and metal and wood trim work in mostly residential criteria. I am very open to constructive criticism and am eager to learn new things. I am a very trustworthy person and I try to always keep my word.
