I have worked in water collections for about two years. I’ve done construction all my life in almost every aspect. This ranges from mostly high-end custom homes but also branches into light industrial projects. I feel this has given me a plethora of knowledge that I apply every day. I’ve been working at the pool for just over two years. There is never a dull moment here, and I enjoy making the swim center a better place any way I can.
