    "At the age of 19 I started with McGill in the transportation department as a truck washer. As time went on, I moved to the production side as a utility operator. As the opportunities came, I always strived to perform at my best. As time went on, I stepped up as a front-end operator, then worked my way up to being a team lead. I was then given the opportunity to take the role of Plant Manager which I have held for 2 years. I have now been with McGill for 16 years. I have been blessed to have had multiple people not only believe in me but putting their trust in me."
