Growing up in a small town in Texas of only 1800 people taught me to stay close to family and friends. I am a home body and love spending time with my family, friends, and girlfriend. I graduated in 2015 and went to a trade school and got a degree in diesel technology to work on diesel engines. From there I work in a mine on heavy equipment for a few years until I finally saw the chance to apply for Cummins. I moved about 600 miles not knowing anything about the area or anyone in it. Currently I live with my girlfriend of four years and slowly starting to explore what Albuquerque has to offer.

Living in Albuquerque there are many events to attend. Only living here for a month I have already ventured out and visited a few places. When shopping I like to keep it local so we go to the rail yard market or a farmers market to get the produce. Not only am I helping local farmers but the view of an old train station set up as a market is very unique. Another great site is the International Balloon Festival that is held every year and I can't wait to take part in it.

I have a huge family that includes four brothers and three sisters on my mom and dads side. Being raised as the youngest had its challenges but I wouldn't change my crazy family for any. They shape how I feel about the bond of family and how important they are to me.

Recently I took a roll working for Cummins enrolled in the tap (technician apprentice program) program to help expand my knowledge the best I can. Out on the floor I assist other technicians along with repairing vehicles myself. Ever since graduating UTI I have wanted to be a technician for Cummins and so I jumped at the chance to and am currently on a path to becoming a great and dependable tech.

Growing up my mother introduced me to the church setting. As a young man I decided that I would take Jesus into my heart. Every day I turn to God to help steer me in the right direction religiously and mentally. Believing has changed my thought process and how I look at different obstacles in life and believe this is one of the biggest decisions that help shape who I am and where my culture comes from.
