Throughout the last four years Coby has had a number of different jobs. While

attending high school in Belgrade, he worked part-time at Tiremaxx and also at Menards.

In the two years that followed high school, Coby worked full-time at an underground

utility company called M&P. Though not all of his employment experiences were

pleasant, they were all rewarding and have taught him many important life lessons.

In April of 1998, Coby began working at his first part-time job at Tiremaxx. For

Him, this was the first real job that he had ever had other than doing farm work for

various farmers. Tiremaxx is a small-town business located in downtown Belgrade, MN.

He worked all though that summer and pretty soon the school year had started and he once again had missed it. So he decided that he might as well just work one more year. As time went by, he earned a great amount of respect. He also began to gain much more responsibility. Eventually he worked his way up from laborer to operator. He was also given a company truck to drive back and forth from work each day.

Work went along smoothly throughout that whole second year at M&P. But, as time went on he had a growing aspiration to make something out of his life. He wasn't ready to just work the rest of his life away. So, on short notice he quit work and enrolled in College. Thus far, he
