Summary
I have been in the construction field with my father and other family since i was 5 years old. Starting with leaning the names of tools and the reasons to use them. Obtaining this basic knowledge at a young age i was able to build a strong foundation of building and construction work.
Once I became a teenager I was working as a helper for multiple family members on all different job sites. This taught me how to take orders and execute work planning and taking responsibility for my work efforts.
I have retained the knowledge learned and put it to use on my own businesses and homes for years, allowing me to sustain self sufficiency and not rely on contractors to fix any issues making it cheaper and a learning experience. Im looking forward to expand this knowledge with a company in the area.
