My name's Andy Vost and I'm superintendent for Interstates.
1
00:00:10.240 --> 00:00:14.920
I started as apprentice with Interstates back in 1998. Uh,
2
00:00:14.920 --> 00:00:19.920
came to Interstates just looking for a job. Uh, went to,
3
00:00:20.460 --> 00:00:23.520
uh, two year tech school for computer programming.
4
00:00:23.630 --> 00:00:28.280
Decided it wasn't for me, so I came, uh,
5
00:00:29.210 --> 00:00:31.680
found interstates and, uh,
6
00:00:32.530 --> 00:00:36.440
ended up hiring on with them. I wanted to try something different.
7
00:00:37.620 --> 00:00:41.600
Uh, starting out. I didn't know anything about electrical at all.
8
00:00:42.580 --> 00:00:46.320
Um, it looked intriguing just to learn something new. Uh,
9
00:00:46.410 --> 00:00:51.080
today I've been with Interstates for 24 years, going on 25 next year.
10
00:00:51.980 --> 00:00:55.920
Um, stuck with interstates because just the family atmosphere.
11
00:00:56.550 --> 00:01:00.000
It's great people to work with. Um,
12
00:01:01.170 --> 00:01:05.440
learn something new every day. There's something different every day.
13
00:01:05.540 --> 00:01:08.440
You're not do stuck doing the same thing. Uh,
14
00:01:08.660 --> 00:01:13.400
if you're considering being a apprentice with a great
15
00:01:13.400 --> 00:01:18.240
company, interstates is where he should go. Um,
16
