My Experience

My Skillset
My skills include bench top carpentry; field installs; tile and hardwood flooring; laminating; glass and acrylics machining; MIG, TIG and stick welding; gang boss leadership and blueprint interpretation. I am OSHA20 certified; Chicago supported and suspended scaffold; CPR/AED. I also hold certificates for forklift, aerial lift and Condor work vehicals. I own my own extensive tool kit and transportation.
My Passions
I am very blessed to have a career I love while working with great people. When I am not strapped down to the workbench you can usually find me outdoors. I enjoy camping, canoeing and fishing. Road trips, dinners and game nights with the family are also great. When I can find the time, I like to work in my small studio creating art and projects for our family, friends and our brand new online store, The Hobo Squirrel Bazaar
