Not much to tell really. I was an absolute horrible student in school. As you can tell from my grammar and spelling...In 1984 I dropped out at the age of 15. The very next day my old man threw me in the truck! Before that, I had worked with Dad in the summers learning the basics, Stilt walking, Bucket walking, Stringing tape. Spotting nails Etc...

I worked on the hanging crew when needed and worked with the finish crew when needed. Back in the late 80's Early 90's we worked on everything. Residential and commercial. So I've been taught on the headaches of both.

I stuck it out with Dad till he retired in 2008. [His bones wore out] Then I had an overnight choice to make. So I picked up his G/C's and kept on rolling! It's been 6 years now on my own and I've done fair. Even picked up a few new G/C's when some of the older ones retired.

I love the trade! I hate the trade! But it's in my blood. My family has been in drywall since the early 50's. It's all I know. And it's a little too late to learn something else! So I guess I'm stuck with it.
