Inspection of all extruded metal and making sure it's cut properly. I have to check all the measurements for tolerance issues. I program dies on Keyence and CMM.

I can basically do anything that can be painted with water and oil-base paints. I build and paint custom cornhole boards and ship them all over the country. Its not an official company yet because its just me and I can only take so many orders at a time. I'll put my hand painted designs up against any other hand painted boards in the U.S.. I personalize them by putting family names on the boards and I customize everything to avoid copyright infringement. Customer satisfaction isn't even a question. I'm my biggest critic and I won't deliver or ship them until I'm satisfied. Over the years I've painted rooms and houses, interior and exterior, but never thought of making that the majority of my work. After getting more residential requests with over the top customer satisfaction I decided to move more in that direction. I'm confident enough to guarantee the highest quality money can buy.

Inspected all the furniture, loaded it into the truck, then delivered it.

We cut business and residential lawns and I worked with one of the owners on landscaping jobs. I was responsible for designing and building rock walls, spreading wood chips, leveling the ground, and giving a final approval on how it looks. We also did fall cleanups which included vacuuming up all the leaves. I also trimmed, cut, and planted bushes at The Boys and Girls Club. Every morning we’d take apart the equipment for maintenance and cleaning.

I unloaded trailers and package cars on the twilight shift Monday through Friday. This is one of the most physically draining jobs Grand Rapids has to offer. Trucks exceed 130 degrees in the summer and maintaining a fast pace takes a strong work ethic and a touch of insanity. I took pride in being the team leader and making sure everybody gave 100% every night. As the safety rep I was responsible for attending monthly meetings and giving weekly safety tips to my team to prevent injuries. My team and I set the record for the most safe work days in a row with 1,450.
