I first met BIG AL working for his lawn care business my sophomore year in high school and this year in march 2020 will make it five years I have known him. Since day one he’s been helping me with issues when I had no one else to go to with, and I’ve seen as well work with others and he’s truly like a father figure to kids of the sort. BIG AL puts his input on things and give you advice on things I’ve needed while still growing as a person. As I sit and reflect on BIG AL and myself time together I don’t think if he wasn’t around some of the things and resources he’s shared with me. I don’t think I would’ve thought about or took up interest in without his helping hand. He is a high character guy always going above and beyond at times to help others and also educate the youth when he can. BIG AL by all means has been a great man and positive influence in my life.
