In my search for a position in the Construction industry my goal has not been just to get ahead and earn as much money as possible, but rather to continue on a career path that uses my full potential and passion for building and construction in general. I would like to always be in a position that keeps me challenged, keeps me learning and keeps rewarding me. Over the past 7 years I have been successful in this accomplishment. I am however far from stopping and far from my ultimate potential. Outlined below is my career thus far. There are many different paths within construction that I have yet to explore, and much of my skills and experience so far have put me in a position to go anywhere within the business. I am seeking a position that is fitting to my experience and education but that provides a challenging environment for me to expand my expertise into the seeming infinite possibilities that our business provides.
