I started my career at Tradesman, a construction staffing company, as a general laborer in 2013 after returning from basic training from the U.S. Navy reserves. I apprenticed in multiple trades, learning from many different craftsmen, for three years. I then became a field sales representative, was promoted into operations and recruiting, and was ultimately promoted into management. Opening a brand-new office for the company in North Jersey at the time.
