Summary
Growing up i was never a good person to friends or family until i found work. i graduated early at the age of 16 and went straight to work doing ranching and working at tire shops. the day i turned 17 i was allowed to work on my first RC rig where i helped for a few months before i found myself where i am today at Capital Drilling. i have learned money management and have been able to buy my girlfriend a new car and get her a house and take her on vacations. i have extremely good work ethic and love to learn new things. i strive for greatness at everything i do and that isn’t going to change anytime soon.
