👏 A huge congratulations to Jordan Kerr, Outstanding New journeyperson award for Refrigeration & AC Mechanic!
Jordan's journey into the trades began with projects at home alongside his dad, sparking an interest that grew into a passion during high school construction classes. Reflecting on this achievement, Jordan shares, 'I am incredibly honored and humbled. This award represents years of hard work and dedication. 'I want to thank my wife Mickaela, my parents and extended family, Mason Resch, Steve Blehm, all the Journeypersons I've worked with, and every instructor who guided me along the way.'
For those starting out in the trades, Jordan offers this advice: 'Don’t give up and always go above and beyond. Early in my career, there were tough days when I wanted to quit, but the support of those around me kept me going. Now, I couldn’t be happier with where I’ve ended up.'
Your dedication and perseverance are truly inspiring, Jordan. Here's to your continued success!
