My Job
Blood, sweat and tears
(TEXT FROM SOUNDBITE)
"When I first got into the trade I worked for a smaller plumbing outfit. I saw how things were run and how the bidding was done. It was always in the back of my head that that's what I wanted to do one day. I started out at the bottom thinking I was going to be on the top right away, which wasn't the case.
"Here I am today, after blood, sweat and tears and slowly working my way up for different companies, trying to learn every aspect of the trade. I started it and I'm still growing. I'm going to continue to grow for probably a number of years to come yet."
