I have a passion for learning, engaging people, and fighting through the difficulties of problem solving! I was not born with these desires, but in my beginnings as a junior woodworker and bike mechanic, I began to find the joy in both the ability to help others in a meaningful way, and seek them out intentionally. I sought out my job at Menards in order to pursue this passion. In my work as a sales member in the Building materials department of Menards, I have discovered the sheer magnitude of possible material, fastener, and tool choices among U.S. construction. Through my work here I have directed distraught customers seeking a solution to their house flooding, built strong relationships with regular customers, and, most of all, have learned the very inner workings of any lumber based construction. I do not back down from a challenge, and every time I fail is an opportunity for me to humble myself, reconstruct my approach, and overcome the challenges presented in front of me. If I have learned anything through my work experience, it is that failure is a necessary step in becoming what we desire to be.𝐹𝑎𝑖𝑙𝑢𝑟𝑒𝑠, 𝑟𝑒𝑝𝑒𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑑 𝑓𝑎𝑖𝑙𝑢𝑟𝑒𝑠, 𝑎𝑟𝑒 𝑓𝑖𝑛𝑔𝑒𝑟 𝑝𝑜𝑠𝑡𝑠 𝑜𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑟𝑜𝑎𝑑 𝑡𝑜 𝑎𝑐ℎ𝑖𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡.
