I have thirty two years of field construction experience as a freelance pile driver, diver, carpenter, shipfitter and certified welder. I consider myself a hard working, aggressive, highly motivated, competitive, confident man who enjoys the challenging hard work associated with difficult construction projects and heavy equipment. I possess the ability to adapt, learn quickly and excel above the average. I am a highly qualified professional construction worker with unique leadership and problem solving abilities and am able to handle most projects or positions.
I have supervised crews and am a very experienced craftsman in pile driving, marine construction, diving, dredging operations, shipbuilding and steel fabrication shops. My past work experience has been gained at land based, inland shallow water and offshore oil field construction sites. I also have extensive experience operating heavy equipment, towing vessels and dredges.
