Education


Jackson Community College

Civil & Construction Engineering

Mesa Community College

Small Business Management

Jackson Intermediate School District
Served four years as Trustee on the Columbia School Board and have attended 5 classes towards my Board Certification.

**Have attended several seminars and classes from OSHA to handling employees to job scheduling, etc.Have never received a full degree, but feel I have more practical hands on experience then most degreed individuals.**

I grew up in the construction industry working for my father running heavy equipment at the age of 8 years old, to running a jack hammer to shoveling in the trenches to working long hours repairing trucks and heavy equipment. Growing up taking direction from a strong Italian background has taught me to have a hard work ethic which I feel is rare in todays society.
