Experienced tradesman with a strong background in formwork, carpentry, and heavy outdoor work across civil, mining, commercial, and residential projects. Currently based in Nipawin, Saskatchewan, working with Fortress Construction while pursuing Permanent Residency through the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program. Adaptable, practical, and fast to understand any jobsite, I bring consistent results, strong work ethic, and the ability to work independently or as part of a crew. Ready to continue my career in Saskatchewan with an employer who values reliability, experience, and someone who contributes from day one.

Key Project Highlight — Custom Motorhomes

I designed and built several custom motorhomes from scratch, applying a wide range of practical skills across carpentry, electrical, plumbing, insulation, layout planning, and interior finishing. These projects show my ability to take on complex builds, solve problems on the go, and work through every stage from bare shell to final setup. Each one is different, and each one pushed me to adapt, learn, and deliver reliable, functional results.
