“The day I walked in, he said, hey, you have two months to pass your CSCS exam. If you don’t pass, you’re fired. And whether he was kidding or not, as a new kid on the blog, I was not going to take that as a joke. So I studied like my life depended on it. I did end up passing the CSCS on the first try, which I’m very lucky and fortunate to say that and I Want to say that that same week he walked into my office and he put a textbook down on my desk And he said here’s the CSCCA textbook. You’re taking the exam here in about a couple months I forget I feel what month this was but it was only a couple months away. He said Here’s the CSCA but Got to take the exam if you don’t pass You’re fired and on that one. I think he was kidding, But we kind of laughed at that, but I ended up passing the CSCCA exam as well. And I think it was really when I first got here, just establishing that I’m going to be here every day, day in and day out working at the same level and just showing him that this is the spot that I want to be at.”
