Went to different jobs everyday whether I was doing service for windows or doors that were installed by another crew or I was out doing my own installation of jobs that were given to me.

After about two years many guys i had worked with had left so i stepped up and took over driving my own box truck while typically working in crews of 2-4 people. Eventually became a lead installer where i was given jobs to complete as well as direct a crew i was with. We installed Windows,doors,fascia,soffit,awnings, basically anything that had to do with exterior on a residential home we did it.
