Summary
I have worked in the trades for 5+ years, I've been on several job sites both large scale and smaller scale. I have run many different pieces of equipment on job sites and enjoy any opportunity to progress myself. I've never been one to stray from a challenge, and I pride myself on being a quick study when learning new things. I also have worked in minimal landscaping roles in my work at AFS our goal on our jobs at peoples homes was to ensure that it looked like we were never there and I took pride in my ability to do so.
