Summary
I started out in the mines a little while after I graduated high school, I started out as a power mover, but eventually learned that I had an act for running heavy machinery, my main job was a roof bolt operator but I have had the opportunity over the years to learn how to run other equipment such as, diesel scoop, Batter scoop, ram car, shuttle car, mini fork lifts, fork lift. I know it shows in my résumé that it has been a while since I have worked underground in the coal mines, but I assure you I have many years of knowledge that I have not forgotten
