When asked what inspired him to get more involved he said, “I wanted to be more helpful and a stronger member.”

Q: How would your life be different if you were not a union member?

Q: If you could make a change in the workplace, what would it be?

A: “I would want people to have the help they need when they need it.”

Q: What in your life are you most proud of?

A: “I am proud of my family, they are amazing.”
