The mission of my resume is to inform those interested, of my knowledge and
experience around plumbing systems and construction projects, in order to
secure a position with a reliable and reputable company in the Central Illinois
area at a position that is challenging, rewarding, and thriving.
With over 20 years experience and over 1300 projects worked in the
construction trades, I find starting, working, and finishing a project just as
interesting as when I started. I do carry my own hand tools and power tools and
I am capable of plumbing any project efficiently and satisfactory to customers
wants and needs.
Please, feel free to view any and all of my resume and contact me with any
questions or comments through email at decksharp[at]sharpearnings.net or by phone [at] 815-823-6401.
Thank you for your time and interest,
Darren Sharp
