Summary
Having a strong base to stand on and build off is crucial to have, not only did my parents instill a good work ethic but growing up and working at my dads printing company taught me a lot at a young age. I was able to go out and work for In-N-Out and Costco both showing me different skills and also having a positive effect on me. Also working for LAFD Crew 3 got me that hands on experience working side by side with firefighters.
