SKILLS I have many skills that have proven valuable in my career. I am able to troubleshoot,program and repair most anything and have the ability to learn and adapt to new systems and technologies. I have a great understanding of preventative maintenance systems and have the visual/auditory perception to respond to safety and operational sounds. Safety is my upmost concern, I’ve spent the greater part of my career learning these concepts to not only keep myself safe, but to ensure the safety of my coworkers and the health of the equipment. I continue to hold a CDL with a clean driving record. I can work in most any capacity in maintenance or service areas. My background is very diverse and the experience I’ve gained in my career as well as the training I’ve received as a fire fighter will prove valuable to any company. I have very strong work ethics and am very reliable. I can supply my own tools if necessary.
Hobbies I enjoy the outdoors doing various activities such as spending time on my boat, fishing, hunting, cutting wood. When I’m not out and about I enjoy playing guitar, spending time with my family, and working on projects in my workshop.
