Affiliations
As a 22-year-old father, I’ve learned to balance the demands of family life with a rigorous work schedule that often includes out-of-town travel and overnight concrete pours. I’ve handled this challenging routine with pride and resilience. Through this experience, I discovered a passion for the industry and a deep desire to grow beyond my current role.
I’m now seeking a new path—one where I can continue working hard while building a more stable future for myself and my family. I believe in leading with integrity, showing respect to those I work with, and staying open to learning every day. Outside of work, I enjoy attending church and hold strong faith that God has a greater purpose for my journey.
I’m not afraid of hard work—I'm motivated to exceed expectations and ready to take the next step forward.
