From Janitor To Manager

This is a story of my working career. My story is about the challenges of entering the workforce at a young age not knowing it then however not being ready for it. My story talks about many learning experiences and about many opportunities to learn overlooked. I started working full time in the aluminum industry at 18 years old thinking I had gotten by the principals my parents and teachers had taught me. I was thinking I completed that chapter when I made it through school and got a job. I went in thinking it's manhood time now I got this. My story is about many challenges: physical, mental, and understanding people. My career went from 1978 to 2024 and was full of learning experiences.

Their younger sister passed away after spending all her fifty years in the same small town they all grew up in. Their parents, a stay-at-home mom and a father working full time providing them with a comfortable upbringing. They were brought up on the same morals and values. Jimmy and his siblings were taught at a young age how important it is to have faith in God. They were taught to follow their heart and stay true to their inner self.
