My grandfather was the ran construction job sites I started at age 12 spending most of the summer with him picking up and cleaning up around the job. First real job was working at the feed store in the warehouse at 15 then onto Walmart at 16. My grandfather told me every summer to get a education and work smart so I became a career firefighter and have my own lawn care business now. I have pretty much had two jobs since 18.

My oldest is 16 and decided to quit football and we told him if he's not playing anymore it's time to get to work so he works at a local pizza joint.

My youngest turns 11 next week and can't wait until summer gets here so he can start making money cutting grass with me.
