Be Passionate About Your Craft

I've always been interested in working with wood and building things and working with my hands. The time came to make a shift in my career. For most of my life I had been sitting behind a desk. When the mortgage industry began to shake in 2008 it came time to make a career change. I decided to pursue my passion in woodworking and do something more physical and challenging that I thoroughly enjoy as a career path. I went to SAIT to become a Carpenter. For most of my life I built projects for other people. Now came the time I needed the written credentials.
