Summary
Through High Scholl I worked for Richardson's boat yard. After High school I went off to boot camp for Infantry in the national guard, I was there for about 6 months. When I graduated boot camp I came home and started working at Walmart Distribution Center full time and Rowe Auburn part time. After a year at working for Walmart I decided to change my occupation and applied full time at Rowe Auburn. After working for Rowe Auburn for about a 2 years I moved to Texas where I work at Bruner Auto. Due to some family issues I had to move back to Maine, where I went back to work for Rowe Auburn.
