I am a carpentry Student at Old Colony Regional Vocational Technical High School. I started in January of my freshman year, doing only hands-on tools using machine tools like a belt sander, jointer, and surface planer. During my Sophomore year, we started using more power tools like a table saw, miter saw, and shaper. Junior year, we started working on more hands-on, real-world job sites, like traveling to Mattapoisett. Once January of my junior year hit, I went out on co-op, starting with Albert Gomache, and then once the latter summer hit, I started working with Jeffery Taylor at the Towne Tavern, remodeling an old, but I had to be let go due to not having the insurance for a co-operative position. I am now starting my senior year looking for a co-operative opportunity.
