Coming into Kryger I had an adept knowledge of the automotive industry thus far. Glass full time was new and the first year was a crazy learning curve. In this field, I was supported by a good company that reassured me that was normal. After getting to know the terminology, the ends, and outs, and basically just getting over the hump, the sky was the limit. They moved me to flat glass and I began just basic cuts, getting used to quarter-inch runs and working with laminate. It wasn't too much longer I began going out into the field and began working on commercial glass installations. From there it was residential home units I was measuring and installing. Everything has been a learning curve here at Kryger but I've never worked for a place I feel where I've acquired so many separate skills and, I'm still learning. I'd love to one day get into the auto cad side of things and be part of pre-production design plans. I think my obsession with learning in any environment speaks to my patience and the urge to not be a one-trick pony. Having said that it's benefitted me in the sense I know as one worker I can most of the time do the job of three. This is the dynamic side of myself I always strive to attain. I was taught at a young age don't be dispensable, that really stuck, made sense to me. My focus is Master Glazier, Foreman, or Manager next. I'm excited about those challenges all the same.
