When did you put your eyes on the prize?

So I was working at Martini House and I was introduced to a Master Sommelier.

And honestly, I wasn't even familiar with...

They were introducing me to a gentleman named Bob Bath, and they were telling me he's a master sommelier.

I didn't know what a sommelier was.

I had never heard the word at that point in my life.

And I'm not kidding.

And Allison was one of those catalysts.

Even stacking way back to the

smallest things matter ever.

Cause I mean, we'll just go back to when I was working for Henkels and McCoy and I hadn't stepped a foot on the side of a helicopter yet, and it's something I wanted to do.

There was helicopters on that job.

I'd see that guy flying out on the right-of-way every day, and I'm climbing up that 200-foot structure just to be like, what the hell? I'd much rather be that guy on that helicopter there.

I remember one day, it was in March or April or whatever, and it was pouring rain, and the helicopter wasn't flying that day, and we were stretching ladders on the fiber doing dead ends, and We were able to get one up with a pickup truck, but could not get the other one, the setup or whatever it was.

And I ended up doing that dead end, or the one lineman I was up there with, he did the one on the one side with a ladder, and I worked the other one without a ladder.

So just talk about that experience.
