Summary
Im a 30 year old professional tradesman, former business owner and father of two (boys aged 4 and 5) looking to feed my hunger for success and progress. With almost 10 years hands-on experience in my trade, including 5 years operating a company, I am comfortable creating and maintaining professional and loyal relationships with co-workers, staff and clients while effectively managing administrative duties and employees. I am also comfortable working independently as manager and leader, as well as a collaborative team member. Time for myself is normally spent with my family and friends, hunting, fishing, or keeping active.
