I have work with my hands all my life and most of it being manual labor. I worked doing property preservation for my parents for a number of years. Taking care of foreclosed home kept me very busy performing tasks such as lock changes, winterization, property condition reports . Steady preventative equipment and vehicle maintenance was provided by myself. I enjoy taking things apart and re assembling them. I am very mechanically inclined . I learned a lot working for my parents ,but the had a large disagreement and the company was dissolved and they separated . Working for Parish was a very fast paced environment . The warehouse distributed tires in bulk . W loaded and unloaded semi truck containers of vehicles tires by hand . Then they were put away by tow motors. I did odd jobs for the owner of the company when we were slow such as employee bath room remodel, painting, Remodeled one of his rental apartment . I enjoyed the time i spent at Parish Mcintyre. Started in 2017 through a temporary service, after 90 days and 600 hrs they hired me on . I decided to leave this past March when i heard that the contract would not be renewed and he would be closing down . I left the ware house to work for a friend that just started an landscape company . I enjoy being outside or indoors . I am still employed with JLM , but would love the opportunity to use a different set of tools . I enjoy landscaping, but i also enjoy wrenching and building things. I have my own tools, tool box and can acquire any other tool needed to complete a task given to me to complete. I am wanting a change , somewhere i can grow and be at for many years to come . I m start to learn that friends shouldn't work for friends. with yes, but not for.
