Summary

I come from a small cow/calf operation as well as crops family farm in Elizabeth, IL. I helped with daily farm chores as well as with field work and equipment/machinery maintenance and up keep. I've spent all my life being around farm equipment, small engines, hydraulics, oils and lubricants. I can offer someone who is on time, neat, orderly, and pays attention to details. Also by me having an agricultural background I can bring the skills and knowledge I've learned on the farm, previous employment, as well as my current job running sprayers and ag equipment to your team and help your company as well as your company help me grow with knowledge and experience as well.
