Summary

I started pressure washing when I was 13, I pressure washed driveways, houses, patios, sidewalks, Ect. i had my owner pressure washer, and did jobs in my neighborhood, if the job was far my dad would drive me. I had to stop due to Covid-19. During Covid I needed a job that didn't have much customer contact, so I started building and selling outdoor furniture and sets. I built mainly benches, tables, and chairs. My dad would drive me to get materials, I had to unfortunately stop in February of 2022 due to him passing away. In high school I took Auto basics my freshman year. I took both Welding 1 and Construction Tech. In Welding 1, I received multiple certifications in MIG and stick welding. In Construction Tech I also received multiple certifications through NCCER. My junior year I took Welding 2, where I received more certifications in MIG and stick welding. The start of my senior year, I transfered over to PACE, a alternative school for people who needed specific schedules and things of that nature. For the first half of my senior year, I also attended welding school at Mainliners Welding Academy. I completed the flat steel stick welding course, and got about half way through the pipe stick welding course. I had to stop because I got a job opportunity. The job being fence work and handyman work, and that is what i still currently do. Im involved in every step of the building process on wooden fences. I also do smaller jobs such as restoring doors, Hauling, pressure washing,electrical repairs replacing and or repairing garage door openers, door nobs, toilets, Ect. I have also been training MMA since September 2023.
