I seek employment in custom or production phases of the framing industry.  I enjoy the creative challenge of custom work as well as the physical challenges of production work.  My goals are to master the trade of home building as a journeyman framer carpenter/foreman and build a solid moral and financial basis for my life.

 

Previous Employers: 1987 until present in the North San Diego County and Temecula Valley construction trade with companies such as C&D, GDT, D&S, HNR, Conolly, Madera, Preferred, Knipp Bros.Inc., Rancho, Branco, Kirkwood, Tarling.  For Knipp Bros. Inc.,  I framed elliptical walls, columns and turrets for high end production homes at the San Elijo Hills Project in San Marcos, Cal. I finished two phases and was the final carpenter on site. References available on request.  From April 2004 until March 2006 I was further employed by Knipp Bros. Inc., as the back end foreman for Miguel Macias at Avian Project in Murrietta.  We completed 80 homes and two pool houses.  Our work was of sufficient quality to be awarded 5 uncontested contracts from the Developer, D.R.Horton. During this period I was temporarily assigned to Shea Homes, Trilogy at Glen Ivy project as customer liaison for KBI, and also built the customer service office for Shea, and that without a set of plans.
