my IBEW story

Being a part of the IBEW has benefited not just me and my family here — my wife and three children, Kaidance, Liam, and Emery — but also my family still in Brazil, my mom and brother. The opportunity to have a great career, with a future to look forward to along with a dignified wage and outstanding benefits, has allowed me to provide comfort and security for all of my loved ones. In the IBEW, anybody who wants a better quality of life and a bright future has an opportunity to attain it — it depends only on you.
