Joey Garcia

My work experience began right out of high school as an underground mining surveyor and equipment operator. Shortly, after the processing plants and mining operations started laying off, I sought new trades and furthering education in order to make a living. I have been extensively trained in carpentry; most notably through the Carpenters Local Union #743 who contract with New Age construction (most recent union job).

I have multiple years of experience in facilities/residential maintenance. I earned my diploma from Van High in 1999 and an A.A.S. Board of Governors & Psychology from Mountwest in 2022. Finally I am a single father of a teenage son.

I have excellent work ethic, drive and leadership qualities. I have reliable transportation, drug free and good credentials and references. Authorized to work in the US for any employer.
