  I started a program in the Hudson Valley region.I started up 4yrs ago as a hobby to see if there was a need and I became addicted. I'am now retired from the Carpenters Union were I taught as a Apprenticeship teacher for 7 several years and plan on doing this as a full time career. Your program is a model such as a growing number of programs across the United States. I hope I to can be as successful. Paul Rinaldi /Hands on Carpentry Poughkeepsie,NY Collapse
