Summary

In addition to my current employment as a mechanic, I possess skills and experience in all aspects of routine maintenance, landscaping, asphalt/concrete repair, equipment operation including but not limited to tractors, plows, chainsaws and outdoor equipment. I am also familiar in the operation of various heavy equipment including but not limited to skid loaders, excavation and tree trimming equipment.

As a former volunteer fireman of 20 years, I was responsible for handling the maintenance and repair of building and emergency vehicles assuring their readiness at all times.

I possess a CDL license with air brake endorsement.

I am detail oriented, a self-starter and can work autonomously.
