Hello, I'm Jakob Lowe. I'm 35 years old and recently moved back to Michigan.
I was born and raised here, but have been living in Colorado for the past 15 years. I love working with my hands, learning and mastering new skills, and of course putting them to use. It's what I'm used to. I grew up working with my grandfather on the farm from the time I was nine. I helped build my own family's home before I was in high school, and was working with contractors helping to remodel and flip houses by the time I was 15.
I moved to Colorado after high school, operated heavy equipment for a bit, and worked as a glazier for a little while, working on the University of Denver engineering building. Then I got my beak wet with residential irrigation. After that I moved up to become an irrigation technician for Ken Caryl Metropolitan District. I worked there for nine years. I loved my job and the relationships built there, but resigned to come back to Michigan and help out my family, as they’re dealing with some serious health issues and my family always comes first. I loved living and working in Colorado, but I'm excited to see what's ahead. My reliability is unquestionable, and my work ethic unsurpassed.
Thank you for considering me for this opportunity. I am looking forward to hearing from you.
