They actually walked into each other and they were like, oh my God, like I remember you, blah, blah, blah.

So he had been working like small jobs, almost like a handyman. And then he met somebody, which is my dad's old boss that still remains in our life, Ken. And he slowly taught my dad how to work. It went from like changing door panels, windows to fixing inside the house. And then it went to roofing until he gathered up all his knowledge that he had.

And then that's when he decided that he was ready to open his company and start start creating a life for himself and our family. And is your sense that he loves his job? Yes. My dad is actually very passionate for his job. You would think he wouldn't be because you're constantly going up a ladder. It's so cold since we live in Massachusetts. And it's really a hard job.

My dad, wherever he walks, he talks out loud to everybody and he talks to people like he knows people. He's always talked to his clients like he knew them for so long. I don't know how he talks to them, like everybody understands him.

As a little kid, I was like my dad's like kind of tomboy. I'd always buy construction, little kids kit, and I would always go around the house with like plastic toys. Me and my dad are the type of person where we take something that is not good and we reform it to make it into a better place. When something's not designed properly, it doesn't feel that good.

Like walking into a house that is just like simple, there's no design. It just feels down. And when you reform it, it brings another life.

Yes. So this was a fifth grade science fair. First, I have to do kind of like the blueprint. So I went to my cousin and we drew like the measurements and everything. And then I went to my dad. It was for a ramp to like define gravity. If we were to drop something, it would fall like on the ramp and it would flip up. My dad took me, one of my favorite stores, it's Lowe's and Home Depot.

And you know, that's my dad's automatic favorite store because he always has to be there. And we had to buy wood, nails, and we had to use like the saw because the corners had to connect. So we had to cut it diagonally to connect. So he taught me like measurements too. I got to do this with my dad. I was able to present it to my class. I was able to show it to my teacher.

And I got so congratulated for it at school that it's just like, oh my God, everybody's going to know me. Everybody's going to know my dad. I'd be like, do you know my dad does construction? He can build your house. And I'd offer, I'd be like, he can do things for you. He can build your house. I would actually walk around with my parents' card in my purse offering everybody.

I always wanted to work with my dad. I'm not going to be able to, you know, carry all the shingles, the roofs and everything that he does. But I'm going to like do what my dad does, which is why I went to college for architecture and interior design. So eventually in the future, I could work with my dad's company.

His dream was always for us to go to college and pursue something that we have passion for because they weren't able to choose their own path. Like, you're not born saying, I'm going to clean toilets. I'm going to be a contractor. You're born thinking, like, I want to be a businesswoman. I want to go after this. I want to have my own company. I want to have my own home.
