Little About Myself
I started at Bj's Earthmoving as a traffic controller on a streetscape project which is where I developed my passion for civil construction. I was driven by the way there is so many opportunities to excell and grow within the same career. The outdoors and the sense of adventure has always been inevitable to me. Growing up on a farm, horse riding, camping and the gym has been a part of my life. I love the challenge physically and mentally.
