<p>This post is going to be hard to put into words, it’s going to seem egotistical at points, but know
|
||
that my actions / feelings online are the same as they are if you met me in person. The problem with
|
||
online interactions is tone and other subtleties do not come across, so it’s hard to tell when
|
||
someone is joking or being serious.</p>
|
||
<h2>The Meat</h2>
|
||
<p>It has been brought to my attention that someone out there thinks that I’m sexist and should not
|
||
speak at the HVAC School symposium because of it. They are holding a curse word against me that I
|
||
said two years ago, in the moment A) it was fitting and B) it was one of those times that my mouth
|
||
was working faster than my brain (raise your hand if that’s ever happened to you).</p>
|
||
<p>I am an open book, I am not afraid of showing failures and strengths. I’ve never claimed to be
|
||
perfect (well, actually I have but it’s always a joke). I’m not at all condoning what I’ve said in
|
||
the past, nor will I repeat it out of context now, but I communicate with people like adults and I
|
||
look at people as piers. We do not always have to agree with one another, conflict helps us learn
|
||
where to grow, but we also can not expect people to change to fit our wants / needs, that’s just not
|
||
how it works.</p>
|
||
<p>I do not at all agree with the tactics used by whomever is behind this. I would happily discuss this
|
||
in private or out in the open. You can find all my contact / social information in the sidebar of
|
||
this website and I’ve offered up my cell phone number in private groups that we are all probably a
|
||
part of.</p>
|
||
<h2>The Potatoes</h2>
|
||
<p>I am a father of 3 girls, I have a sister, talk crap about my mom and you’ll find out who I am! I
|
||
love women, I have no problem with women in the trades, I encourage women who are in the trades. I
|
||
try to help every person that I can, if I can. I have failed more times than you can imagine! I am
|
||
self taught in about everything I do, so I give of it freely. I have all kinds of work to do to grow
|
||
into the man that I should be, but at the same time, I am not afraid to be the man that I am today.
|
||
I will greet you by whatever pronoun you want to be referred as.</p>
|
||
<p>I would love to say that I don’t judge people, but I do, just as I’m being judged! I am fine with
|
||
someone judging me and having opinions about me, I mean that is our right. I will not say that
|
||
person is wrong, because in their mind they’re right. What I will not do is stop being myself. I
|
||
know for a fact that I’ve helped more people than this person has gotten “cancelled”. I will
|
||
continue to help people in the trades, homeowners, or people in need. I also will not remain quiet!
|
||
I will give my opinion like it or not. There are people in my corner that really know me and my
|
||
intentions.</p>
|
||
<h2>Final Words</h2>
|
||
<p>The trades are rough around the edges, just as am I. The trades are a slow turning ship (just look
|
||
at how many still do not follow proper practices, etc. even with the capabilities and resources
|
||
available today).</p>
|
||
<p>If you are new / coming into the trades then I hope you are not overly sensitive to foul language
|
||
and other inappropriate comments. Thick skin is valuable in the trades, but at the same time don’t
|
||
be afraid to speak up if something offends you. Remember we are adults, we can handle disagreements
|
||
like adults (well, some of us can). Adults can learn from those of any age, they can reflect on
|
||
their own behavior and make their own decisions.</p>
|
||
<p>I personally think that being offended is not a bad thing, it causes us to reflect / repair our
|
||
foundational beliefs. I hope that we can stop with this “cancel culture” of today, stop hiding
|
||
behind a keyboard, and be a diverse community.</p>
|
||
<p>To wrap things up, I just want to reiterate that I am not at all mad at whomever is behind this. To
|
||
everyone out there who has shown me love and support, I greatly appreciate it.</p>
