Was underage and worked with my dad in the summers and when I had time off of school.

Framed new construction metal framing and wood framing, concrete work, assured quality of the products. We were general contractors so I pretty much done it all.

Attended TCAT after high school. Enrolled in the welding program, immediately excelled and my Instructor made me Class President for my leadership skills and my word ethics that I shown him.
