This channel was about me sharing my beard journey. Now I have changed my channel to document my progress as a pipefitter apprentice. I’m currently in my first year as an pipe fitter apprentice in the United association. I’m out of local 344 in Oklahoma City. Hopefully my channel sheds light on being a tradesmen as well as motivate more people to pursue a career in the building trades.

I have no experience whatsoever for pipefitting but I did great on my Math assessment and the interviewers really loved my answers. I’ve been watching your videos so I can know what to expect and I’ve been taking in all your info on these videos man. 💯

    Hey, thank you for the update (even though its 4y ago) its good info. Just wanted to share the Gospel that all men need, the Bible says all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23) this means we all deserve death and separation from a perfect and holy God. But God did not leave us for dead, He sent His only begotten Son to die in yours and my place, so that anyone who believes in Him and repents of sin will be saved from separation from God, and have eternal life! I urge you please put your faith in Jesus Christ and follow Him, He promises to save all who cry out to Him and have a humble heart. We arent guaranteed another day so we must repent of sin and seek Him today while He may be found!

    I’m 28 years old working as a contract Recruiter and I applied to my local Plumbing union which I needed to go to another state for the interview. I was told they had no projects in my city, so I drove home bummed out. But I was called the next week and told that they have work in my area and I went through the process right away. My program doesn’t start till September but I’m going to be working for them on the job in two weeks or so. I’m working on completing my OSHA 10 course right now and then I should be on my way. Really nervous I’m going to F up or not good quality work, but I’m just going in with no experience I gotta remind myself of that.
