Summary

I've always known I wanted to work with my hands and outside. Working side by side with lineman made me realize that it was a good and steady career if i put the work in. I am a very hard worker and a great listener and follower, but am able to lead when given the opportunity I believe in a healthy work environment and have always gotten along with my coworkers great. Im helpful and easy to get along with and hard to hate and looking to make everyone's life a little bit better.
