Accomplishments
I started as your typical apprentice, wanting to learn everything I could possible to the trades. I became an impeccable asset to every company I have worked for. My drive in excellence is what keeps me going. Out of 27 people in my 5 year apprenticeship, I was 1 of only 3 that graduated on time with 5 full years and 10,000 hours. I am not afraid to ask questions, if I do not have the answer, I will find the one that does.
On a personal note, I am a family man, family first. I will always do what is in my power to complete the task at hand...but they are my priority.
