Hello whoever is reading. First and foremost I hate wasting time so I will cut to the chase lol my name is Chase and I am a proud husband and father to 3 children who I’d do anything for. I am a veteran and unfortunately was injured during my short career in the army. Being hardheaded and probably naive I decided to take the honorable medical discharge instead of taking an offer for a less physical MOS (job). Which brings me here. Since I left the military I was absolutely lost as my service to the country was all that I had ever imagined doing for a career. I started a family, worked hard as a water well pump installer for 3 years, went to school for welding, fire science, maintenance technician, and received my class A permit. I have always tried my best to be a productive member of society and worked hard with the belief that I would get somewhere with hard work and dedication. Unfortunately, I was born in the wrong era because that is sadly no longer the case. It’s who you know, it seems. I recently left my last job as a dairy service technician because I received a job offer in my family’s favorite place on earth. You guessed it, St George! As dramatic as this sounds, it really is true lol. Somewhere along the way, there was a mixup in the phone interview pertaining to the work schedule for the new job and quickly realized after fully committing to the move that there was no way we could afford to make the move. Not only am I now unemployed, but I have sold everything from the dream Harley I had just bought to now having yard sales to just stay afloat. Embarrassing I know. But we all hit a low, and I hope this is the bottom. I joined a bridge builder/pile driver union and payed dues, bought tools and it’s been 3 months with no job, no income and absolutely exhausted every contact for contractors, foremen etc. I am desperate. I’m 100% capable of working so I want to. I’m honest, maybe even to the extent of selling myself short, I am eager to learn anything and always look for ways to improve. I have thick skin and can handle environments most can’t and most importantly I am a father and husband. I want to be a better one by providing for my family. Moving out of California would allow 2 of my children to go to school without compromising our beliefs and possibly our health. If you, anyone you know or even have a slight idea of a direction to point me in I would forever be grateful. As I said, I am desperate. I will live out of our family SUV and shower at truck stops if that means I will gain traction in these areas. Thank you for reading my novel!
