I've worked as a Shutdown Millwright but the larger portion of these years I worked as a Shift Millwright/Whistle Chaser because many mills had problems filling that role with their own employees for various reasons and once I gained experience and had proven myself I became known for my steadfast desire to achieve greater production and efficiency through my knowledge and the knowledge that I gain from conversations with the people in the facilities.

I worked as a Heavy Duty Field Mechanic and was an ITA Registered Apprentice as I was endentured by this company and 3500 hours reported by them.

Trained to NFPA 1001 standards, in all aspects of structure firefighting, municipal wildland firefighting, motor vehicle extrication, first responder assistance, chain of command, incident scene security and public relations.

I started here as general labour and was able to ultimately get an apprenticeship. I was working towards my Red Seal until the closure of the mill.
