Other Experience

I work therefore I am. Corny but true. I have worked in and been involved in construction my whole life, growing up with an air conditioning and heating contractor for a father. Weekends, after school and summers were spent working. Whether it was going on service calls, cutting duct board, digging trenches or crawling in attics. I have been directly involved with building 6 houses from the ground up and can confidently say I do it all except for electric even which I have a basic understanding. Down time from plumbing over the past 15 years was spent on side jobs including roofing, sprinklers, cabinets, tile work, painting, and of course plumbing, even turning a 35 ft horse trailer into a rolling bathroom with water heaters, toilets, urinals, sinks and showers for a boys and girls camp.
I am a hard worker with an insatiable desire to succeed, have an utmost respect for authority, and need limited supervision, only a goal and the means to reach it. My knowledge, respect, experience, dedication and desire to succeed would make a great addition to any team.
