Managed day-to-day operations, and held operator responsibility of Class 2 commercial landfill for the Municipal District of Greenview No. 16. Position required extensive operation of heavy equipment, site start-up/shut-down, enforcing municipal and federal regulation, radio-control trucks from off-site, and filling in for personnel on leave.

I worked on my parent's family farm since the age I was able to operate equipment, and before that had helped with minor errands. As one of the primary workers I learned what it takes to run a business, as I was helping my parents run theirs. I was able to gain a multitude of mechanical, agricultural, and operating experience. More importantly, I gained a special work ethic that has made an impression on everyone I've worked with since.
