Work Experience:

My name is James Tinker. I graduated high school with high honors and went straight into the Marine Corps, where I served as an infantryman and completed a tour in Iraq. As a Veteran U.S. Marine, I bring a proven record of discipline, teamwork, and leadership. After the military, I built my career in construction, heavy equipment operation, and now as a Class A CDL truck driver. Skilled in operating a variety of machinery and committed to safety on every job, I learn quickly, work efficiently, and stay physically fit. I’m a hardworking person who thrives both independently and as part of a team, never afraid of a challenge. I have higher ambitions for myself, care deeply about my future career, and am ready to put in the work to advance in the trades.
