"I chose to pursue a career as a tile installer after helping a friend tile their house one winter. I was working on a construction crew and had been laid off until spring when the weather was better. My friend needed some help, and I offered to assist him with his project. After finishing the tile job, I realized I liked how creative I could be setting tile and changed my career path."
