Summary
Hardworking and driven, I started my career in factories at 18 before transitioning into the telecommunications industry at 20. Beginning as a ground hand, I quickly advanced to Construction Supervisor over the city of Lafayette, IN, within a year—an achievement that took dedication, hard work, and a strong willingness to learn. Over the past few years, I’ve gained extensive knowledge in fiber optic construction and underground infrastructure. One of my biggest goals was to join the IBEW, and I’m proud to have recently been accepted into the union, ready to continue growing in my career.
