Hungry“Hungry.” I love that word so much, I really do. I am hungry – starving! When you’re hungry you have two choices – die, or go out there and get what you need by making it happen. I have a plan and a back-up plan and a back-up plan to that.
I hadn’t used math in such a long time so I had to learn it all over again. I can weatherize, I can sheetrock, I can build a roof. I was totally shocked to learn that you can calculate everything you need to get a job done and that means efficiency and savings. I am now a very precise person – I can calculate everything – how much gravel do you need to fill in a hole? How much sheet rock exactly?
What started as a way for me to get a new career has turned into some home improvement projects. We were going to hire someone to renovate the home office but now I’m doing it. My kids were like, “are you really going to do that?” Of course I am.
What I really want to do is build or weatherize buildings for seniors. You hear in the news that sometimes seniors die of heatstroke or frostbite in their own homes. Heat or A/C is going in, but it goes right back out. I’d like to work to fix that. Greyston really cares about people, they actually give us a chance to make a difference and I want to make that difference, for myself, my family, for others.
