I am a 23 year old currently attending Triangle Tech, in Allentown, Pa for Welding and Fabrication Technology. After graduating highschool in 2012, I took my training as a automotive technician and went to work in a Audi dealership. After about a year and a half, I realized, "this field is just not for me". At the age of 19 I was not very sure what to do with myself, and bounced around from different jobs, up until I was 21 where I received employment from Mack Trucks in Macungie, Pa. There I worked on the production line, and also being trained as a "flex", or person to do repairs, during my overtime work. After 11 months of employment I was laid off, so I decided to take my hard working attitude, and try to learn a new trade. I joined Jurin Roofing in Pennsburg in the beginning of the 2016 summer. After the summer around September, I was laid off again. This time, determined to not quit and keep learning something, I decided to go back for a education, where I chose welding. After my education is complete in 6-2018, I hope to obtain a job welding for some kind of military contracted company to at least do something for all the men and women who serve our country.
