I started at Warsaw Siding my senior year of high school, working part time, cleaning the showroom and warehouse after school in the afternoons.After high school, I continued to work there, because I was undecided about college. I worked doing deliveries, and assembling vinyl shutters until I decided to try college in 99'.
