Brother Alfred Belloso

Alfred Belloso’s journey to becoming December’s Member of the Month is truly inspiring! From initially pursuing a career as a funeral director in Canada to discovering his passion for industrial painting, his path is anything but conventional. The way he noticed the painters’ work at The Luxor, saw it as a better fit for his lifestyle, and made the leap into an apprenticeship speaks to his ability to seize opportunities and think long-term.

His dedication is evident in the way he invested in his training, earning a number of impressive certifications, including the OSHA 40, rope access, swing stage, and his AMP Level 2 and SSPC CAS Level 2. These certifications weren’t just a ticket to better jobs—they were a reflection of his commitment to high performance and excellence in his craft.

Alfred’s hard work didn’t stop there. Despite personal challenges, including a serious car accident, he kept pushing forward and built a stellar industrial career that took him all over the world—from Guam to Japan to Hawaii. The level of responsibility he took on with government projects and his involvement in anti-terrorism training shows a deep sense of duty beyond just his work as a painter.

And it’s not just about the work—his pride in his craft is reflected in how he raised his three children, all of whom have gone on to successful careers in law, medicine, and law enforcement. Plus, his years of service as a job steward and his commitment to union events and meetings really demonstrate his sense of community.

Outside of work, it’s clear that Alfred values a balance between career and personal passions. Whether riding his motorcycle, hiking, or traveling, he makes time to recharge, but he’s always thinking about ways he can contribute further, especially within the union. His story truly embodies the spirit of high performance and high value in every area of life.

Alfred is a shining example of what dedication, training, and union involvement can achieve. He’s definitely a role model for others to look up to in the trade, and it’s a well-deserved recognition as December’s Member of the Month!
