Kaitelynn, Operators Apprentice
I've been in this business 17 years. That stability is invaluable - my daughter does competitive cheerleading; my wife can stay home. Invest in this career, and it'll take care of you.

Being able to build something with your own hands, and share that with your loved ones - that's something special. There's a new challenge every day.
