Summary
A few carpenters I know have found personal satisfaction in the teaching field.
I feel like I'm at a good point in my career to expand my skillset into this area and hopefully have a positive effect on future trades people. I have always enjoyed having apprentices to train and pass on what I have learned.
I have experience leading crews and running jobs for both my own company and other contractors.
Experience with all aspects of home building, concrete formwork, surveying, scaffolding etc.
