Additional Information

  • GET TO KNOW ME SUMMARY
  • I started working for my dad when I was 16 years old. He was a self-employed carpenter who could do anything. Or maybe that’s just what I thought, because I looked up to him, but I’m sure he really could do anything he put his mind to. At least, that’s what he taught me. He also taught me to; take pride in my work, do the job right the first time, a good carpenter always has a sharp pencil, and better to be safe than sorry, amongst other things. He died when I was 20 years old. Since then, I have been learning as many trades as possible, in hopes of someday being able to build a house from top to bottom like he could. Also, I enjoy working and learning.
  • Good facts to know about me: I have enough basic knowledge in various trades numerous trades where there is something I am unsure of most of the time I can figure it out I know the difference on how to determine whether there is room or time for figuring something out or if it would be faster and more sufficient to just ask.
