It truly is amazing how in an instant such a small package can make such a big impact on life.What does a typical day look like for you?My typical day starts at 6 a.m. I arrive at work, participate in a Safety at Sunrise meeting and then get my jobs for the day. I typically leave work at 4:30 p.m. – unless I’m on call – and then I get to go home and spend quality time with my wife and daughter. Towards the end of the night, I try to knock out as much homework as possible. Then I’m off to bed.
