For the last 120+ years, my family has owned and operated a business in the commercial textile industry--primarily within the United States but also internationally. I enjoyed spending my summers working alongside my father, uncles, and cousins representing the fifth generation of the company.

A typical day included the following tasks:- Packaging rolls of fabric and preparing them for shipment- Fulfilling orders by hand-cutting and rolling fabric- Depositing and scanning accounts receivable checks- Filing and organizing purchase orders- Scanning purchase orders and uploading them to the company database- Reviewing customer invoices
