Introducing Angel "AJ" Torres

AJ is a great example of the standard every apprentice should strive to achieve. No matter the task or training assignment, AJ always approached it with enthusiasm, determination, and a smile. His positive, can-do attitude made him a pleasure to have at the training center and set a great example for those around him.

Dedicated to mastering his craft, AJ regularly spent extra time in the shop practicing and refining his skills beyond what was required. His commitment to continuous improvement, combined with his outstanding work ethic, reflects the pride he takes in himself, his Union, and the quality of his work.

AJ has all the qualities needed for a long and successful career with the Bricklayers and Allied Craftworkers Local 1 PA/DE and the Pointers, Caulkers, and Cleaners Chapter. We congratulate him on this accomplishment and look forward to seeing all that he achieves as a journeyworker.
