Cody Burnsed

Thank you for taking the time to review my resume. My wife and I currently live in North Dakota where I work for a John Deere dealership as the Small Ag and Turf Technician. We are expecting our first child, and we are seeking the opportunity to relocate to a more southern climate to be closer to family.

I went to Lake City Community College and graduated from the Turf Equipment Technology program in 2011. Along with over ten years of mechanical experience, I have also completed the GCSAA Equipment Manager Certification program, levels one and two, with hopes of becoming a GCSAA certified Equipment Manager. I am seeking a long-term career at a facility where I can be an asset by utilizing my skills while continuing to hone my abilities in the trade.

We are able to make a move fairly quickly. Our baby is due at the end of June or the first of July, so I would need short-term scheduling accommodations for the birth.

Thanks again for looking over my resume, and I look forward to possibly hearing from you soon.
