Joining the Carpenters Union changed my life for the better. For the first time, I have a steady job, earn wages I can support my family with, have retirement security and my own health insurance. I can finally stop living paycheck to paycheck and support my children. I found the job that I was passionate about. There is nothing more rewarding than building my beloved city from scratch, and in 2010 I had the honor of being part of the team that built the World Trade Center. Seeing my work become a part of history and the iconic New York skyline is indescribable, but seeing the pride on my children’s faces is even better.
