In 2016 I began my journey into the painting and coating industry. I quickly worked my way up in my company to which I became the foreman/ estimator in 2019. I have both dry blast and wet abrasive blast experience with my most notable job being the Amerock Embassy Suites in downtown Rockford, IL in 2017-2018. That was a 9 month lead abatement project to which I ran 6 Journey persons, and completed all 13 floors at roughly 250,000 Sqft. I have now left that company and am now serving as the Business Rep for Local 607, and a Field Organizer for District Council 30.
