About Me

Born August 15, 1972, husband and father of two, have a GED, home owner in a southwest suburb, I have a newer pick-up with cap and ladder racks, a vast collection of tools and equipment, can pass background and drug test, and have good driving record. I have been employed since the age of 15 and developed into a team player that is conscious about safety, quality and timely completion of work. I have never been fired. I have been laid off a couple times, however, I was always one of the last to go. I’m known to go above and beyond the call of duty, as my work history shows, I am not a job jumper. I’m looking for a solid, full-time position that offers fair wage to support my family. Thank you for considering me as an applicant, and I look forward to further contact. Have a nice day.
