To many, high school is a time to focus on your education and wonder what job you want to get in the future.
For Bellwood-Antis senior Gavin McElwain, he’s already two steps ahead.
Gavin is currently employed Kimmen Plumbing and Heating, and he plans on sticking with it for a little bit after high school.
“It feels great to know I have a good job out of high school,” said Gavin.
Gavin actually leaves Bellwood-Antis at 11 Monday through Friday to begin his day at work. He typically puts in 20 hours each week, focusing on HVAC installation and service.
Gavin thanks his dad a ton for his success,
“He was the one that told me to get into HVAC because you learn a little bit of everything,” he said.
HVAC is a job that requires not only plumbing knowledge, but electrical and refrigeration skills too.
Once high school is over with, Gavin plans on living in the Tyrone/Bellwood-Antis area. He hopes after working at his job for a little while to get a traveling HVAC job, where he’ll be able to travel for a few days and then come home for the weekend.
