I always had a drive to be successful going back to a very young age, I was going around my neighborhood looking for work anywhere from shoveling snow to trimming hedges to helping people move. After doing that for a number of years I got a job on my 16th birthday at Taco Bell, I worked there for about a year but that didn't work out very well. I wasn't as driven as I was in the past and was unfortunately laid off. After I was laid off I went back to smaller jobs like being a Referee for flag football. It wasn't making the money I would've liked so I found a job at the hospital as a screener during the pandemic. I wasn't enjoying it because I was behind a desk all day so I decided to apply for Les Schwab and ended up getting the job. I enjoyed the physicality of the job and enjoyed learning the whole process so I've kept working hard and been here since.
