DZ-licensed driver, former machinist and warehouse shift supervisor. Hand me a new machine and I'll learn it fast, run it right and take care of it. I show up every day and get the job done.
Years on the road and on the warehouse floor. Clean abstract, mechanically minded, and based in Toronto. I'm open to roles within a sensible commute of the city.
I run the highest-volume delivery route in the company: up to 10 stops a day across the GTA and 5,000 lbs out, plus 5,000 lbs of pickups back for restock. I secure stock up to 24′ long with no product damage and unload on my own with forklifts, zoom booms and hoists.
20 to 35 stops a day across Ontario and Quebec in Sprinter vans, on time and consistent for residential and commercial customers.
I led a team of 10 in an ISO 9001 metals warehouse, handling order prep, loading, routing and paperwork for straight trucks and tractor-trailers.
I ran industrial saws and CNC equipment for high-volume precision aluminum parts, holding tolerances within six thousandths of an inch, and handled the machines' upkeep.

Resume (PDF)What you get when you put me on your crew.
I've learned forklifts, rotators, zoom booms, Bobcats, CNC saws and air-brake trucks. Picking up a new machine and getting it right is my favourite part of any job.
I run the company's busiest route, with a clean driving record and no product damage. When I say a load will be there, it's there.
I load, secure and unload on my own, and I do my own daily inspections. Send me out and the job comes back finished.
I can troubleshoot equipment, rewire forklift electrical and build what the job is missing. I take care of the gear like it's my own.
What I work on after the truck is parked.
Long routes across Ontario meant losing time to fuel stops, so I designed and built a custom 500-litre auxiliary fuel system for the van. More range, less downtime.
I built and run a Jellyfin server on my own domain so the people who matter most to me can stream for free and cut a few subscriptions off their monthly bills. It also keeps old favourites the streaming services dropped easy to find and watch. I built it with my college network admin training, and next I'm moving it to Linux and Docker.
The goal: a LeftLaneLegend line of decals, tints and protection film, cut to fit car models across the road and ready to apply straight out of the package. No knife ever touches your paint. Today it's a logo, a plan and templates tested on my own 2022 Kia Forte. Over the next decade I want to grow it into a name drivers look for when they want their car done right.
I'm looking for a company that will give me the chance to learn a new machine or vehicle. I've gone from forklifts to CNC saws to DZ trucks, and nothing beats the feeling of mastering something new. Give me the keys and some time, and I'll learn it inside and out.
