My journey as a wind turbine technician has slowed for the moment. I am set on having the wind turbines come to me. My family life is so important to me. For the time being I'm handling parts and supplies at Fastenal's K-hub in Lakewood, WA. I drive a forklift, restocking the picking racks from overstock locations. This work is like much of the parts work that I have done in the past, it's just on a much larger scale.
The facility I work at is running 5S lean distribution. It has been very educational for me to see such a big job done so uniformly.
I am satisfied with every part of the job except the pay. I am staying healthy, and really enjoying my family.
I know that in time my career will get a boost. I will be so excited when I get to help bring wind power to Lewis County.

Job Displacement
Today I was discharged from my post at Titus-Will with no explanation. I have to trust the leadership that it's the best thing for the company. I believe that it will be the best thing for me. I used this opportunity well. It served my family's needs for several months. I am currently joining the search for a satisfying career in the renewable energy sector. The wind is calling me. I am following my dream.
The challenges that my family will face are daunting. My partner and children aren't as excited as I am. I don't really want to live away from them. My career needs to progress. If the wind turbines won't come to me I think I'd better go to them.

Lewis County Washington has granted a special use permit to EverPower Wind Holdings to build a wind energy generation facility west of Chehalis Washington. I'm sure that EverPower is excited about this outcome and I watch with excitement as well. This is an incredible change for Western Washington and will benefit the local economy, long term ecology and is a step in the right direction for the energy sector.
I have been through that stretch of wilderness many times in the course of recreation during my teen years and early twenties. This area is close to my heart. I see Weyerhauser and The Department of Natural Resources choice to take EverPower up on this offer as a change for the good. The weather patterns that come in from the Pacific ocean and rip through these hill tops is one of our resources here in Washington with the greatest potential for doing good. The people will ultimately benefit from the trailblazing that these professionals are doing.
