Honestly, I love this job. It gives me a lot of freedom and you're constantly doing something different. It's never boring. From delivering tables, to rolling carpet, to building exhibits, you are doing a lot of different things. You just learn them one at a time. Rigging is my newest. You have to be constantly thinking. I used to be afraid of heights, but now I’ve been up in the air 37 feet. You just keep looking straight ahead and don’t look down. You concentrate on fastening cables to eyelets and getting the graphic to hang straight.
My uncle got me in the union, and then my father and brother and cousin joined. Now it’s a generational thing. I have another younger brother and sister who have been on the B list and are about to make it to the A list.
