Accomplishments
Growing up in the city of Las Vegas with little to no guidance it took me a while to find my path. I joined Local Millwrights 1607 in Nov of 2014 with no experience, no knowledge whatsoever of the trade. Just knowing I wanted a better career, better life itself, and better for my family. That being said I jumped in head first. Now being over 10 years later I am still the first and only Millwright in my family but I am not the only tradesman. I have an older brother and younger cousin in IEBW and knowing I helped inspire them to join a trade/union and better their life's as well is an accomplishment to me.
