- I like working with my hands, fixing things and value a hard work ethic
- I have always enjoyed the outdoors and playing various sports
- Volunteering whether it is at church or just to help out where I can

Summary
Why and what has made me want to follow this path?
It all comes down to family tradition and a passion for hands-on problem solving.
My goal is to to be a 3rd generation plumber. My grandfather Darol and father Brian are both plumbers. I grew up watching their hard work and I’ve always admired the way they took pride in what they did. From a young age I observed the difference the UA made for my families life and want to follow in that.
For me, plumbing isn’t just about fixing pipes—it’s about carrying on that legacy, solving real-world problems, and knowing that I’m playing a part in making sure the basic things we rely on—like clean water—are readily available and working properly. I look forward to serving my apprenticeship here at Local 26 caring on my families legacy, by also building a strong future for my own family someday.
