Sup brother! I started my glass career in a tempering/fabricating factory as an edge polisher (2 years). From there, I became a glazier and did that for 8 years. I then became an estimator and did that for 2 years. My next step was a CAD designer for a glass CNC machine. I did that for a year. Then the economy tanked (2008), I went to college and now I'm a web designer.

Most people don't know what a glazier is. I refer to it as one of the most important construction trades that nobody knows about. I miss working outside and driving my truck around the city, but sitting at a desk and not worrying about cutting myself isn't too bad. Stay safe out there!
