I started in the Painter's Union doing Industrial Coatings at 18 years old. Once I completed my Apprenticeship I became a Journeyman and shortly after was promoted to Foreman. With much experience and many certifications, I now manage all the Coatings work out of the Benicia area for Brand. The Trade has shown me the importance of self-accountability, strong work ethics, and responsibility. I am grateful to be able to provide a financially stable life for my wife and daughter.
I have been a Union member for 18 years working for PCI. I moved my way up to become a Foreman to run work for many different crews. I would say I am most proud of my performance on the Switch job which I was recognized for exceeding the owners expectations. I work hard to not only get ahead in my career, but to financially support and provide good health benefits for my wife and children. When I am not working I love to spend time with my family.
