Since childhood Carrie always liked working with her hands.  Her dad and grandfather could build anything and her grandfather even built several additions on his house by himself.  She loved helping.  Her mother would regularly come home and find the backs of Tvs, refrigerators and remotes off as Carrie wanted to see how everything worked.  She has always had a love of art and being creative and art has been a big source of happiness in her life.  

 

At 16 she graduated from the Home Builders Institute in Building and Apartment Maintenance where she learned basic plumbing, electrical, painting and other small maintenance tasks.  She worked at ITT Tech in California then a small apartment complex as the maintenance person until she left for the military at 18.  In the U.S. Navy Carrie was a Seabee and was a Builder in a construction battalion.  She learned masonry, framing, concrete, drywall, roofing, painting and how to operate certain heavy machinery.
