I am going to be writing about who has influenced me, and This influencer has not been my influence my whole life. I could write about my Mom, Dad,Grandparents but that is who everyone writes about for influencers. Well my influencer came later in my life, and was very glad to have one like him. 

My influencer's Name is Gary Ferguson, and he is famous in the town of Troy from being in the newspaper about a Job site he worked at when he was younger. Well the site he worked at was not safe at all from cleaning outside a chemical compound, and not knowing that years later this could have affected him, and all the other people he worked with have actually passed and he is the only one still alive and he is still holding on. Well let's talk a little more about Gary, and This was when I first met him. When I was 15 years old my girlfriend had a pool put in her backyard, and it was getting closer to summer break and I wanted to get a job for the summer so I decided to walk outside and talk to the boss and his name was Josh. I asked him if it would be cool if I could start working in the summer with his company and he gave me his card just like that. 

I started in July after my sophomore year, and I first started on a deck job with a guy named ron. For the first Year and a half of my construction experience I was straight labor and I can say it was very hard work. One day I got sent to a basement job and Gary and Garret were the ones working there,and from the moment I started working with him he was already telling Josh how hard of a worker I was and we just got along very well from the start. What I always liked about Gary was he has always pushed me to work hard, don’t be late, and to know your self work. This Friend wasn't just a work buddy because he has talked about things that have helped me learn more about life. One day at the Job he looked up at me, and asked me If I would like to work with him on the side for a Flipper in Troy ( A flipper is someone who is Remodeling a whole house). He looked at me and asked how much I got paid where we are working at the moment and then  I told him and he told me he would pay me more than that, and I thought that was absolutely amazing. I have known Gary for almost three years now and yet again The company I am working for right now, I can say he got me this job by telling the bosses how I work, and everything worked out. Gary is an amazing Carpenter, and I would like to grow up and be like Gary because he has given me so many opportunities.
