Began Carpentry in 1981, learned all aspects of custom home building from the foundation to the roof.Along the way I way I got a degree in Computerized Bookkeeping from Empire Business College, learned to weld at the Santa Rosa Junior College. With the welding knowledge I built a dump bed on a 3/4 ton 4wd truck and designed and built a set of racks for my present truck. I like to figure out how solve problems as quickly as possible. Which is why I am often called at work to tackle things first. The thing I most love about my present job is the diversity of tasks I am asked to do and the wonderful people I work with. Beacame the Chief Water Treatment Officer in 2013 and the Chief Water System Operator in 2017 for Traditional Medicinals. Testing for certificates with the State waterboard is required. In addition to managing the water system I'm in charge of the experimental septic system, HVAC system, Lighting, including LED retrofit, maintaining code locks on two facilities, fire pump testing and myriad other repairs. Other certifications are; lift trucks, sitdown,reach and power pallet operation, 30 hour OSHA training, Lockout/ Tagout trainng, Confined space training, Confined space rescue training as well as First Aid training. my prime directive is to fix what is broken with out being told. If door doesn't shut I adjust it, many repairs can be completed with the tools I carry on me at all times, saving time and money.
