Chris Otis, Apprentice
I used to be a bartender, and there was a guy who used to come in all the time with a lot of money. He told me what he did and how to get in the trade. It's so much better than bartending, where you have to put up with a lot of attitude from your customers. Here, I just go to work on time with a professional attitude, do my job, and go home. People leave me alone. No more stress. I like doing finishing work. A lot of stuff we do is pretty dirty and messy and you get hot and sweaty. Finish work is about attention to detail and making it look good. That's what I like, making things look good.
