ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

I have enjoyed all of the trades in which I've embarked upon over the years. In all, they have defined my work
ethic, respect for others and given me great joy in doing something that only a small percent of the population
can accomplish. Teamwork, safety and respect for others are my core values. Getting paid for something I
love and others call work, priceless.
