As SBWIB YouthBuild’s Construction Trainer, Rafael makes it the utmost importance that the trainees who come through the doors leave with skills in the construction field and are career ready.

With an extensive 5-year background in the trades, he is confident that he can teach some of the tricks that he’s picked up along the way. But there’s a lot more to learn and he knows that at SBWIB Youthbuild he will find that experience and expand his love for the building trades.

Rafael believes that the road to success is always under construction. He believes that any one has a chance in life, it just all depends on how much someone wants it. That’s why it motivates him to be able to help youth change the way they think about life through the trades.
