I work 2 mud brands, Muddy Dash and Terrain Race. I'll unload semi trailer and dispatch ropacks and obs to marked map location. After all is situated I go dig pits. Every venue is different so I'll adapt to location and dig accordingly. I'll monitor the weather so I can figure out the backfill. Equipment used for each race- 42 ft tele-fork, skid steer, mini ex, 2000 gal water truck. Been offered race director position multiple times. It's not worth the pay. But I gave in. I've led wood obs, and also truss obs. Season starts mid Feb and continues to mid Nov. Tuesday and Sunday are travel days, Wed. - Sunday are work days. Monday is only real day home. Approximately 70 races between both brands. I'll work around 45. OCR is what I do.

Teardown and rebuild CAT 3516s gas engines. Some experience overhauling compressor in field.

WakeZone is a family water recreational facility close to downtown OKC. Open in the late spring season until the warm is gone. Usually till around end Oct. I would teach beginners as well as intermediate riders who want to progress. Try to help the more seasoned riders learn new tricks with what I can see. There is no boat to pull riders, it's done by a cable system that can pull 7 riders at one time. So as I instruct I also have to watch the cable system and other riders, attention to detail is important. People can get hurt pretty bad. If the motor tower has problems I'd have to climb up and fix it. Keep it maintained. Train new operators. Sometimes having to work proshop and cable at same time. Off season we would build new projects to further expand the attraction area. In past we have also built three huge water slides that launch visitor 20-30' in air before hitting the water. We've built sand beach to compliment this area. More projects are sitting in waiting area.

Forklift - Loaded and unloaded freight. Entered parts into inventory. Distributed parts for assembly line. Moved finished product to staging area for transport. Bumped inventory with stock to compare numbers.

Assembled conveyors up to 80' long for rock crushing screen. Read blueprints and corrected any mistakes from parts manufacturer after talking with engineers for approval. Put pieces together. Used in other parts of assembly as needed. Was Safety Officer for dept. Crane certified. I learned to vulcanized the conveyor belts so that we didn't have to outsource.
