Summer jobs from 1997 - 2002
During my summers off from school I was able to work at several different jobs. I worked a summer at Endako Mines in the electrical department assisting the other members of the electrical department in their daily jobs around the mine site. I also spent time working first as a member of, and then the leader of municipal parks crew, and was in charge of the daily schedules of my crew members. I also worked as a member of the maintenance department for the school district and was primarily in charge of grounds work, but was the only maintenance person on site. As a result I did emergency maintenance work if required and was at times in charge of third party contractors working on site.
