Objective

Seeking commissions and jobs that utilize my design and fabrication skills. I am a very creative, hands on person and enjoy design and implementation challenges. I also love to get out and get exercise while I work, and find the personal benefits of ranch work and similar to be very rewarding. I’m hoping to obtain any life skills related to my profession as well as rural living, and life in general. I am very willing to partake in any work or activity that gives me the opportunity to learn and grow as an individual. With my personal shop up and running at home, I hope to start getting clients for commissions and custom metal work to further expand my portfolio and my experience.
