Summary

Forklift Operator with 20 yrs experience in warehouse settings, stocking, loading/unloading, inventory control, production, shipping and receiving. I work very well in high pressure situations. I can lead and follow with excellent written and oral communication skills. I work just as hard alone as I do on a team and I believe safety comes before anything else on a job. As a SkyTrak and Bobcat operator, I have 5 yrs experience in the oil and gas industry doing everything from loading pipe racks to spreading soiled cement as we prepare to leave a location. I've hung pipe, built every kind of facility used in that field & learned how to do everything I've learned both safely and efficiently. There are a lot of highly skilled operators out there. Plenty are as skilled as I am but there are very few, if any, who are better. There are gaps in my employment history I'd like to address now. I was a troubled kid, then young adult. I have a criminal history that I'm not proud of but I can't change. I have no crimes against women or children & I haven't been in any kind of trouble in 5 years and never will again. My recent time off was spent solely in Shreveport taking care of my mother who had cancer. I will be an asset given a chance. Thank you for your time.
