Summary
Growing up, I had the chance to work side by side with my dad in construction, and it taught me more than I ever expected. I got my hands dirty doing everything from plumbing and electrical work to running an excavator and putting roofs on houses. Every day on the job was a chance to learn something new, and I soaked it all up. Working with my dad pushed me to work hard, pay attention, and take pride in what I do. That experience gave me a real foundation in the trades and a genuine passion for the work, and I am ready to keep building on it.
