I have over 30 years of experience working in the strawberry farming industry including managing large crews of people (125+) simultaneously across multiple locations. I am skilled in operating general farming equipment including tractor, discing, spraying, box blade, angle blade, and s tine cultivator. I worked for a construction company as a parts runner/courier and was responsible for general upkeep of the mechanic shop. In the last several years while in semi-retirement, I’ve worked as a handyman’s apprentice on private renovation projects, and as a maintenance worker at a local hotel. I am a certified forklift operator and certified pilot driver. I am bilingual in Spanish and English. I am an outgoing individual and a self-starter. I am a people person and enjoy working as part of a team.
