I assist a family friend (Wes Leyshon) with carpentry projects around the Memphis area whenever I'm at home and available.

• Assisted in measuring, cutting, and shaping materials for various construction projects.
• Operated hand and power tools safely to complete tasks efficiently.
• Collaborated with lead carpenter to ensure project timelines were met consistently.
• Maintained a clean and organized work environment to promote safety standards.

In my time as a counselor at Kids Across America I got to mentor/minister and be example to middle school aged kids as well as coach them in football as the specialty head (HC). As a certified boat driver I got to take the kids tubing every day. I was also trained to be the water front coordinator and will take that leadership position in the summer of 2026. In that leadership position I'll get serve a diverse community of counselors and campers for 12 weeks in Golden, MO.

I worked with Jeff Parker as a mover part time in the summer. We've moved for houses, hospitals, and we helped set up for the St. Jude FedEx golf tournament.

• Coordinated loading and unloading of furniture and boxes to ensure efficient transport.
• Operated hand trucks, dollies, and other equipment to facilitate safe moving processes.
• Communicated with clients to confirm details and address any concerns during moves.
• Performed inventory checks to ensure all items accounted for before and after moves.

I helped lead vocational Bible school for 3 weeks in inner city Memphis neighborhoods. We taught kids about the gospel while teaching how to serve their community through landscaping (mowing, weed eating, etc.). They also got to participate in art class where they learned the basics of art and had some of their work displayed in the city.
