    I've been working since high school and out on my own at 17. Times were tough, but it made me stronger and I'm grateful that I survived and thrived.

    When my siblings and I were teenagers, our dad made it crystal clear that we needed to get jobs. If we tried to fight him over it, he'd ask us "and where do you live ?" because we lived in his house. What dad says, goes - his house, his rules.

    ‌At the Stevedore, when I first started there, they had 2 Volvo engines in each Straddle Carrier. Those engines were blowing up left and right to a point of 50 engine a year. Slowly, I had them replaced with Cummins and cut that down to less than 10 per year. I had 206 Cummins engines in the f... View More
