As a retired Army veteran, I've spent my entire career working with my hands and in the field. For the last five years, I’ve focused on irrigation, having started as an apprentice seven years ago. For me, this work isn’t about money—it’s a passion. I bring military discipline and a strong work ethic to everything I do.

Creating order through a well-designed irrigation system is incredibly fulfilling, as it brings structure and efficiency to the environment. Whether I'm helping farmers grow crops or ensuring homeowners can maintain their beautiful landscapes, I take pride in making an impact.

Working outdoors, surrounded by nature, is where I feel most at peace. It’s grounding to be in tune with the land, water, and plants. Problem-solving also plays a huge part in what I do—designing systems, troubleshooting issues, and adapting to different terrains and water sources keeps me engaged and motivated.

Ultimately, it's a blend of personal values, skills, and the deep satisfaction I get from being outside and doing meaningful work.
