First job:
Landscaping and lawn care for a family friend whose businesses included a farm, so my workday started and ended with barn work.
When I’m helping out, I might be:
Working concessions at a sporting event, driving kids on a field trip, mowing grass at our church, helping with Vacation Bible School, or sitting on a civic board.
Something you might not know about me:
To help out at one of my parents’ businesses, I am certified by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as a public water system operator.
Aspiration:
Restoring to their original glory two classic Mustangs, one a 1966 that’s mostly in pieces, and one a 1986 that needs interior work and finish painting.
Aspiration fulfilled:
Moved with my family into a new-to-us home in a quiet neighborhood where we already have a lot of friends.
What I like about my workplace:
The mindset. All of us try to deliver consistent high quality, which means giving every project, large or small, the resources and attention it requires.
