Additional Information
I am a proud Union Carpenter who attends almost every hall meeting. I am a elected delegate and a trained stewart. I have attended the 300 heavy hitters and was fortunate enough to be selected to attend the third year apprentice class at our international training center. I am very proficient with people skills. I am very blessed to have the opportunities that i have had with local 200. I attended the apprenticeship while i was employed with OCP contractors. I then did the online classes with tri c to further my education in this field. I am very passionate about our union and i have recruited many people who i can now call brothers and sisters in our trade. I would love to have the opportunity to write a new chapter and further my education about our industry and see many more people get to work for a fair wage. One of my proudest accolades i was working at adena hospital for valley interiors. I had stolen a few of a non union company's carpenters and i was sent to another job as time went on. A couple months later my superintendent sent me back to adena and called me and said I need more finishers. I appreciate the time and potential consideration.
