I’m a rideshare driver based in Rochester, Minnesota, with over 6,000 rides completed and a consistent 5-star rating. It’s more than just driving — it’s storytelling on wheels. Every rider brings a new face, a new mood, a new moment. I’ve had late-night philosophers, nervous interviewees, lost tourists, and regulars who just needed someone to listen. I’ve learned that a car isn’t just a vehicle — it’s a 20-minute connection point on someone’s journey.
But before I was behind the wheel, I was standing on rooftops, hauling lumber, and troubleshooting blueprints on the fly. I spent years as a general contractor, leading framing crews, working in roofing, and manufacturing furniture. I know what it means to build something real — to sweat through heatwaves and snowstorms because the job had to get done. I’ve worked with wood, steel, concrete, and drywall… but the hardest material to shape has always been time.
Construction taught me precision, patience, and pressure. Driving taught me presence, people, and perspective.
These days, I’m still building — just not with nails and screws. I’m building connections. I’m building stability. I’m building a foundation for something next — something mine. A future crafted not just from what I’ve done, but from who I’ve become doing it.
