0:00:12.710,0:00:14.810
I started at Miller I was a pipe fitter.

0:00:15.070,0:00:19.720
I switched piper about a year and a half [br]into the Miller.

0:00:19.720,0:00:23.350
I became Foreman and then [br]I was an Operator Foreman from there.

0:00:23.840,0:00:27.820
Before I came to Miller, [br]I was a laborer for three years

0:00:27.820,0:00:31.410
and then I actually became [br]a pipe fitter at another company.

0:00:31.410,0:00:33.080
I've bought a house,

0:00:35.840,0:00:42.180
new cars; just a lot more financially stable [br]than I was before.

0:00:42.180,0:00:46.380
Not always paycheck to paycheck.[br]Moving up was huge for me.

0:00:46.910,0:00:49.460
There's a lot that I like about Miller.

0:00:49.460,0:00:53.810
Versus other contractors, [br]I think Miller looks better than anyone else.

0:00:53.810,0:01:01.060
Our safety department, our OQ Department,[br]our Fleet Managers, our guys that we have

0:01:01.060,0:01:06.209
everything is just I think it's a notch [br]above the rest, so Miller is great.

0:01:06.209,0:01:13.189
I mean, they offer a lot more stuff too; [br]you get bonuses, they have the company picnics,

0:01:14.109,0:01:18.050
they have Employee Care Funds, they have [br]scholarships, there's a lot to take advantage here

0:01:18.050,0:01:20.560
that other contractors don't offer.

0:01:21.660,0:01:25.930
Miller changed me, I mean it's a lot more stressful now, [br]in the I'm position that I'm in.

0:01:25.930,0:01:31.136
I've had a lot more things I have to do, [br]a lot more people have to worry about, safety, you know,

0:01:31.136,0:01:34.700
but it's all changing for the better,[br]it's making me who I want to be,

0:01:34.700,0:01:38.360
I've always wanted to be a foreman [br]so I'm really happy for the opportunity.

0:01:38.650,0:01:42.480
I kind of motivate myself.[br]My parents are really hard workers.

0:01:42.900,0:01:45.900
I've kind of, I think I just have that in me,[br]being a hard worker.

0:01:45.900,0:01:48.620
And, you know, when I was a pipe fitter [br]I always wanted to –even a laborer–

0:01:48.620,0:01:50.930
I always wanted to be a foreman.[br]I always looked at my boss and said,

0:01:50.930,0:01:54.440
"I want to do that, I wanna be an operator".[br]So I've always said that so now

0:01:54.440,0:01:57.610
that I'm an Operator Foreman I want to be [br]a General Foreman, I want to be a Super Tenant.

0:01:57.610,0:02:02.090
So I'm just always looking at me going forward [br]and I always, you know, want to take it one more step.

0:02:02.090,0:02:05.540
I think Miller is –from a company standpoint– [br]everyone looking at Miller

0:02:05.540,0:02:09.259
we look better than other contractors, [br]so I think Miller is here to stay

0:02:09.259,0:02:13.830
and it's gonna be the next best thing,[br]so I want to be a part of the next best thing.
