My name is Jeffrey Turrini and I am from Southwick, Massachusetts. I am a freshman here at Nichols College. My major is management
and I plan to graduate Nichols College with a Bachelor’s degree in Management.
My hobbies include dirt bike riding, playing soccer, playing ice hockey,
skiing, and spending time with my dogs. I have two German shepherds named Jet
and Bruno who at first sight might be frightening but in reality these two dogs
wouldn’t hurt a fly. In the past I worked for Subway for a short time making
sandwiches on the weekends in a local Walmart. But when I was of age my father
let me start working in our family machine shop. My father and my uncle run a
fifty-man machine shop that specializes in aircraft engine components, called Jet Industries Inc. My older
brother Steven works as a full-time machinist and walks to work everyday
because he lives very close to the shop. I work full-time in the summer,
usually working between forty and fifty hours a week. For my job I either drive
around picking up and dropping off parts to and from our company. But just
recently my father started me training in machining. I worked with a machinist
and he taught be how to run a milling machine. I never would have thought
machining would be so complex but it is and can even get dangerous if you are
not careful.
I hope to learn how to take full advantage of Microsoft
Excel because I barely know how to use it. Also, I’m glad we are Blogging
because I never really knew what it was and now I will be doing it in this
class.
The blog I found comes from the website Bartstoolsports.com.
It is titled “Obama Says If He Had A Son He Wouldn’t Let Him Play Football” and
explains how our president shows concern for college athletes and NFL athletes
because of the harm they do to their bodies and to their opponents. I enjoy the
website barstool sports because it is a constantly updated with blogs on topics
mostly concerning sports but touch on global issues as well.
Hey Jeffery I to have some of the same interests such as dirt bike riding that I have enjoyed doing since I was 10. I used to ride ATV's and dirt bikes at my friend’s track and have always enjoyed the trill of riding. I also really like skiing because I have always skied with my dad from the time I was 7and we would go to Sunday River. I think that the story of you working and getting into the family business is a really unique and interesting field of work that I think would be really interesting to see the shop. It must be really cool to work with the family having everyone with a set job to help the business do very well. I too work with my father and his building company with my two uncles and I can relate to the family business world. I found your blog very insightful and interesting to read about.
