PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY
A lifetime of various pipe installation, conditions and dealing with people from diverse backgrounds. I make the job run smoothly as I can and I lead through example. I work best by not standing out as a show boat but as an old man that busts his hump and puts the young bucks to shame. I am very cautious do not want anyone to get hurt (so I can sleep well at night!) At times have had to deal with tremendously heavy loads. I also have experience in various underground applications. I have seen some bad happenings and I DO NOT WANT TO SEE ANY MORE. I LEAD BEST FROM THE BACK ROW IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. Asking the stupid questions to get everybody on the same page. I just have my ways to try to keep everybody safe.
