Accomplishments
I had a sponsor for painting cars of the Philadelphia Eagles and the Philadelphia Phillies during my time in New Jersey, 2013-2015. A man believed in my meticulous paint jobs so much that he started a paint shop for me to run and operate. I am currently no longer there but yes, that paint shop is still running!
During my time as lead powder coater at BasX Solutions, I made record-breaking numbers on our output of product, and continued to do so… other crews seen the work I was doing and without words i set a new baseline for how much work could be put out.
