I was a licensed forklift operator with a flawless record all 5 years as well as one of the licensed trailer salesmen in the store. On occasion, I was also responsible for driving the company box van for delivery and pickup purposes. I was the paint and color specialist within the store working with Benjamin Moore paint, Van Sickle Tractor enamels, Sikkens stains, Sashco Stains and Chinking products, and a small amount of Cabot stains. During my tenure there, I also gained a Silver Technician rating and certification from Stihl power equipment. I was one of the more versatile employees that the store had, I was able to work in nearly every department in the store (camping, kitchen, hunting, fishing, surplus, ranching, outdoor power equipment).

I was the contact point within the store for the outside sales reps while they were away from the store. I also handled many of the responsibilities of a sales associate within the store/yard. I assisted in our perpetual inventory of the lumber and building materials. One of the biggest responsibilities was covering the Commercial Sales counter and assisting the contractors and professionals that came in on a daily basis.

Preformed preliminary design work for foundations and structures as a structural draftsman. I spec'd joists, beams, headers, and any foundation design work that the structure required.
