Work Experience:

Dedicated and experienced construction professional with a strong background. Currently serving as a 12W in the U.S. Army with an ETS date in 2028. My journey in construction began in high school, where I developed a deep respect for the trades and a strong work ethic that has only grown throughout my military career. Over the years, I’ve gained valuable hands-on experience in a variety of construction environments, including residential framing and finishing. 

Originally from Milwaukee, I carry with me the city’s blue-collar pride, resilience, and no-nonsense approach to getting the job done right. I’m passionate about returning to MKE, buying a home, and contributing to the local workforce by taking on meaningful projects that improve neighborhoods and support the community. The Army has sharpened my discipline, leadership, and ability to adapt quickly — traits that position me well for greater responsibility in the construction field. With a solid foundation of experience and the right mindset, I’m ready to step into roles that involve more planning, oversight, and long-term impact. I’m not just looking for a job — I’m building a future in a city I care about, and I’m prepared to do the hard work to get there.
