Additional Information

Formal Training for me Started at a vocational school in a small town named Bloomsburg, PA. There I had the privilege to study auto mechanics, machine tech, carpentry, and electrical engineering. I applied myself heavily to my trades and did very well in gaining solid foundational knowledge in my trades. Along with schooling, I learned the value of hard work and punctuality. Two things I learned early were being on time and performing above and beyond the standard. "These two things have helped me to hire wages and higher positions and is something I believe firmly in." I think my previous employers would agree it's something that sets me apart from the pack and that these are prominent qualities I possess.
In my working career, I've learned there are two types of work; hard labor, and Skilled labor. As much as anybody wouldn't want to be on the bottom side of that statement, it takes years of training and experience to gain the skills and knowledge to be a well-rounded craftsman in any trade. Ambitious at an early age every summer I cut grass and shoveled snow instilling in me some of these very things at a young age. Hungry for more with not much experience I worked a few meaningless jobs like McDonald's Burger King and some warehouse positions. Although not much practical knowledge proceeded these positions i was able to practice my core principles; be on time and do better than the standard. This gave me my first tools in my working tool belt.
Learning how to adapt has proven to be the next quality I would learn along the way. In the rural part of PA where I lived, I got a job at a lumber mill where I worked alongside many Amish men. It's a well-known fact that Amish are hard-working and quality craftsmen. But I've never actually worked hand and hand with them. As a white man, I experienced diversity in the workplace naturally as a tight-knit community I had to find a way to work through it. So as a master carpenter today I find myself drawing from a wealth of experience I learned there firstly in the process of making raw lumber with the many tools and machines and people that complete the process.
Next was a pallet factory where I was offered a piece rate young and hungry "I killed that position mastered the nail gun and saw wages I've never seen before my hard work was getting me ahead."
I bought my first truck and started my first company a landscaping and concrete/stampcrete company. i worked primarily for the city of Williamsport grinding tree roots out and replacing uprooted slabs of sidewalk with the occasional stampCrete pad and retaining wall i owned and operated this company for 5yrs. My fiancé and I built our home on top of Bald Eagle State Mountain in Lewisburg, PA where I can attribute a great wealth of knowledge coming from her father, who was a retired union welder and always took the time to show me the right way to do things.
Gaining traction as we built our home and garage I learned a ton of new skills in plumbing and electrical foundation work and would often rely heavily on another quality; that is to listen more than I speak when I'm not in charge. I listened to everything he said and gained 30-plus yrs of experience from that man.
Ultimately I wanted to be an engineer so I went back to school i attended Bloomsburg University and got a part-time job installing security systems and DVRs occasionally satellite television. I also moved homes for U-Haul. I learned the intricate workings of cars and diesel engines. We had a backhoe I learned how to operate and I had primarily two vehicles I built and rebuilt from the ground up a 95 Firebird with an LS1 and a stock Dodge Charger with a 2.8 liter dual overhead cams interference engine both were top to bottom.
After some time I moved to Pittsburgh under the advice and referral of a good friend for a foreman position (at an awning company making almost 100k a year salary). I learned more and more about exterior residential construction. I mastered aluminum awnings and furthered my experience with customer relations. "That job was phenomenal and I loved it." I learned every aspect of aluminum and canvas awnings as well as facia gutters and railings. I shifted my managerial skills into high gear I was loved and valued at this company. Exterior construction, customer interactions, and operating safely on ladders/breaks/scaffel are just a few more tools I was able to add to my toolbelt.
The dictionary says nonessential means: Not absolutely necessary. They shut us down, covid hit. Laid off indefinitely I struggled with the fact I wasn't important. So I ended up starting my own company. I started posting to the group Pittsburgh Contractors on Facebook and almost immediately I had great success they gave me a digital badge that showed next to my name anytime I commented on anything in the group "EMBASSEDOR." I Don't know that I could have been any more proud of myself if I had clout in this group of 16,000 fellow PGH contractors I represented. My skills represented so as the group went members would post jobs handpicking jobs between fb and next door i successfully remodeled a 6-bedroom in Mckeesrocks and a 3-bedroom in the Hill. My company's name was GOLDEN PENN CONSTRUCTION. I was successful for 3 months right before tragedy struck.
Upon completion of the McKees rocks home, I started to grow weak pale, and sick with fevers, I was diagnosed with a bone disease. My run was over immediately hospitalized I spent 6 months in the hospital underwent surgery spent another 6 weeks getting infusions at the cancer center and at least a year in recovery I remained weak and short of breath for a long time little by little I rebuilt my strength and started back at work I worked for a company called Tooling Around they are a company based out of Monroeville they were essentially an everything company one day I could be fixing a broken terracotta drain pipe running through a hillside or a month building a warehouse or a poll barn or out doing services rehoming my trade. "it snaps right back!" I worked there for two seasons rebuilding my strength.
Finally healthy again I was hired as to foreman at a fencing company. Where I would practice skills like plotting lay lines full installs working off fiscal lines etc.. I consider myself well-rounded with not only knowledge but experience. I would consider my best qualities to be honest and trustworthy. I've been known by the name Dan the man as a given nickname. Thank you for your consideration.
