Summary
Self-motivated professional with strong mechanical acumen safely operating wide range of tools and equipment. Competent in fast-paced settings with little supervision. Offering strong verbal and written communication skills.
I have also worked at the Sheridan Lake Marina, Desperado's Bar and Grill, Dallas Alexander Construction, Dakota Barricade, Scherer Corrugating and Machine - Scherer Design and Engineering (3 years), K1 Construction, Z'Marik's Eatery, WL Plastics, Purdue Furniture, and an additional year at both Boss' Pizza & Chicken and Deep Roots Tree Company. I do not have specific dates for these positions so they were omitted from my experience summary. However, I can easily provide references and details of job duties upon request.
I have a large family and have spent much of my adult life as a stay-at-home dad which will explain any gaps in my employment. I am now in a position where I'm able to rejoin the workforce and am eager to do so.
