Im a man that seeks knowledge and along my path I found that I gravitate towards is building anything with any type of material from buildings to cars. My work history may have gaps in them but its from either family deaths or sickness. I never had the chance to go to technical school for auto body and wielding so I chose to work in the food service industry and as time passed I found myself not wanting to cook or manage a restaurant. Ive always found peace in building things. The more I learned the more ecstatic I became about construction or any type of metal work for that matter. Im highly motivated to grow not only as a man but as someone who came from somewhere that could hinder most people and discourage them not to pursue what makes them happy. I have worked for a few of my family members that have professions in automotive repair, hot-shot transport and other things dealing with heavy machinery or blueprint reading. I wish to get to a point in my life to where I can own and operate a automotive shop. The only thing I lacked was the ability to enroll into school. I have had other jobs over the years but every time I worked, I always find myself wanting to expand my mind past basic skills. I don’t have much work experience past construction, machine operation and food service. To explain all the gaps in my work history, I always was helping my family accomplish goals or help take care of health problems of our elderly so it has set me back growth wise over the years and the only consistent job I held was construction. I like seeing what I build being loved by those I had business with. Its a amazing feeling I crave very much.
