“I love doing repairs,” East admitted, “every day I look forward to discovering what damage I’m going to see and how I can make it better. I like experimenting with things. I like the problem-solving and troubleshooting and being able to challenge myself. And I love our customers and getting to know people. I’ve gotten more confident in myself and the CCI brand over the years and it’s very fulfilling to work with all my amazing customers and have a great team, CCI Inc., supporting me.”
