Summary
Three of the most important attributes that are being focused on every day are integrity, work ethic, and attitude. Started out working construction under the family business beginning with carrying materials to different parts of the job site and demolition to framing, flooring, and full renovations. Made a move to be an automotive mechanic while in high school. Being an automotive mechanic includes troubleshooting many different problems with vehicles. The work mainly consisted of replacing or repairing each suspension part, a/c system, brakes, and faulty electronic parts.
