Accomplishments

While in trade school I became my instructors right hand man and got to get my hands on several special projects. I also helped teach other students welding processes.

While being a installer for MASCO I became the companies only Master Installer in our entire district. This came with increased pay as well as the choice to choose my jobs/work. This title also allowed me to train other installers.

Started my own successful business at the age of 30 and was in business for over 16 years.

I bought a house to flip (purchase, complete gutting and renovation) I ended up turning this property into my Aibnb.

Something else that I consider an accomplishment is, I completely built a Mancave (outdoor building) from the ground up entirely by myself, including the framing, roofing, flooring and, running all the electrical.
