I’m attaching photos to show better than just words in a resume. My background is in construction (Custom Building, General construction etc), farming and ranching, landscaping, and general cattle and horse care. I owned my own business at one time and was also employed by my dad’s custom building business. I’ve been involved with numerous ranch infrastructure projects where I was always hands on and in the dirt. At this time I’d like to stay in Texas. I’ve worked in four different states.
The workshop shown below was started while several other ranch projects were going at the same time. We were building a new ranch road, filling in several low areas that needed fill dirt, building new pipe fencing and barbed wire fences, clearing lots of trees and brush, excavating a large pond, prepping another area for a covered horse arena as well as a future house site, and several other ranch projects all at the same time. The photos show that the projects were still ongoing. I helped build the forms, dig the footings, pour and screed the concrete, and erect the steel frame.
That pond took a long time to complete. Once we had to pump out part of it when a heavy rain moved in and filled the area still needing to be dug out more.
I spent a lot of seat time operating the scrapers. Maintenance and repair was constant.
The fishing dock was mostly constructed while there wasn’t any water in the pond. We laid out the holes, drilled them and then inserted long pipes into the holes. A large excavator was used to push each pipe as deep as possible well below the bottom of the augered holes. Then they were cemented in place. We had planned to hire a cement pumper truck to pour the walkway surface later on when we were also pouring the workshop slab. Weather and delays prevented from doing both.
The group of calves were the first crop from a new herd of registered black angus. I helped to tag and weigh most of them at birth. Many days were spent protecting them from coyotes and hogs. All too often they’d squeeze out and end up in the nearby creek bottom and thick brush. That usually required me to walk a long distance to the nearest access gate to the creek. You easily can get attached to them and their moms when you spend seven days a week caring for them all. :-)
Some of the other photos illustrate experience on other ranches where I was employed.
Will be happy to send my resume upon request. Thanks for looking.
