Trenten Beer

I started my first summer job working for my Uncle in my family's excavating and construction business, "Beer & Slabaugh," during my seventh-grade year of middle school until around my sophomore year of high school. During this time I learned a variety of skills that include operating heavy machinery and being responsible to help deliver a quality product/service. Some of the jobs I have been on include groundwork, bridge repair, commercial construction, and pipework. After my time at Beer & Slabaugh I got a job testing gravel for another company called "Elkhart County Gravel." This was a major switch up for me as I went from working with a crew to being on my own and delivering my very own work with no one to fall back on. During this time I learned a lot about how businesses operate as I was forced to keep records of all my testing for future audits. I also was tasked with being with state auditors for a few days where they monitored all of my work and checked all of my records which really taught me to always keep record of jobs.

I have always been highly into learning and getting into new hobbies. However, playing electric guitar has been something that I have always been into. When I get extremely into something I need to know everything about it how it works, how it's made, where it comes from etc. With that being said when I got my first guitar I tore it apart within the first month of owning it. I learned how sound travels through the instrument how it is wired and everything. As of now every now and then I go to auctions and buy old guitars and fix/restore them and either sell them or give them away.
