I became employed at General Dynamics, now Lockheed Martin, on December 4, 1980, and joined the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, District Lodge 776 shortly afterwards. I served as an Alternate District Delegate, Steward, Negotiator, Local Lodge President and served on the By-Laws Committee. I became a Business Representative on February 1, 2020. It has been a pleasure serving the membership of District 776.
