"How did you decide to get involved in this line of work? As a third-generation iron worker, I started working for Herrick Corp, a structural steel company, in California out of Local 377 in 1994. In 2005, I started teaching for the apprenticeship school for Local 377 and 378 on the weekends, conducting safety training for new iron workers that wanted to get into a trade. In 2007, I relocated to Texas where I was hired as a safety manager for a local construction company here in Houston. In January 2012, I became a safety consultant for Kuwait Oil. I lived in the Middle East for a year and I even learned the local dialect. After my contract was completed, I returned back home to Houston to work for an oil & gas engineering firm."
