SUMMARY
I've been in the sprinkler-fitting industry for more than 20 years; which allows me to bring value-added experience to the table. I've worked all over the US and abroad on a variety of projects, including new construction and service work. As a seasoned professional in my industry I'm able to make independent and experienced judgment decisions; my work style is versatile - I work well independently or in a team environment and will be an asset to potential employers if given the chance.
