Summary
Im very motivated to be successful for my family, i have 2 young children and a wife i must give a great life and have done everything in my power to achieve that. I was raised in Fairbanks Alaska and I have worked in almost every field of construction from residential framing, grading, equipment operating, welding, concrete cutting and more. Currently i run my own landscape business, all while doing real estate on the side. There isn't anything i cant learn in a quick time frame, and do proficiently. Im a great team member and an even better leader, im currently looking to hand my business over to my family and find a job working on the slopes in Alaska or somewhere that pays travel and has a rotational schedule mostly for the pay. Idaho is great in many ways but you cant make decent money here, im ready to make pipeline or oil money and will do what it takes to accomplish this. Thank you for considering me as a possible team member.
