A weekend(and sometimes weekday) gig at a paintball field, I started working there sophomore year of high school and it taught me how to talk to people as the face of a business. On any given weekend I would talk to hundreds of people I had never met before and over the years it became easy. When there weren’t customers around I would spend my time maintaining the premises and equipment

I worked as a trailer repair/maintenance mechanic which involved mig welding, oci acetalene torch cutting, plasma cutting, taking things apart, diagnosing mechanical problems, and putting things back together. The shop also specialized in liftgate installation which taught me a lot about electrical routing, welding, neat painting, following instructions, and tackling a large project head on
