Experienced:

I started working in the construction industry in high school. In college, I graduated at the top of the class in construction techniques, computer-aided drafting and design. After school, I stayed in the construction industry, building in the commercial, residential and agricultural industries. Eventually, I was promoted to a supervisory position with a world wide company.
As a firefighter for 10 years, I was able to add to my base of knowledge an understanding of safety concerns related to fire hazards.
