The variety of jobs that we do keeps my work interesting and challenging. I most enjoy working with our nine painters. They all have a great sense of pride in their work and have made my job much easier. I also receive a great deal of satisfaction when our jobs have been completed, everything is cleaned up, rooms put back in order and we are able to see what our skills have been able to accomplish. We are the easiest group to distinguish on campus being the only people who wear white every day all year.
Every day is a challenge to every member of the paint shop.
When I first began as a painter, the paint shop had 15 painters responsible for the entire campus. Now we are a shop of nine and still responsible for the entire campus, which has expanded incredibly. We have to maintain all the rental properties as well as Hoffman Estates, Rockford and Loredo Taft campuses. I feel that we are still doing an excellent job keeping up with the different requests we receive. My wife, Dorrie, and I have four married children and seven grandchildren.
