My name is Wilson Andrade
Admired my parents for their work ethic, making me start working at 13 years old bussing tables from 10 PM to 6 AM (graveyard) In Elizabeth, New Jersey to many drunks at a Greek Diner. We are all hard workers and very proud of it. Learned a LOT about socializing as a child but still get the jitters from time to time, crazy stories to share if you are up to de dazzled. I personally love different cultures and the Greek community I would say is my fondest from family relationships to all they have given us over the years. Greek people - I know all things Greek - TEST ME, or not.
I would say the first and most important thing my family has left me with is to be a fighter, product of a life time of getting hit and getting right back up with lessons learnt.
I lived in Peterstown (Elizabeth, NJ), where we were the first Latin family there, got to learn a lot from the 3rd/4th gen Portuguese/Italian Americans. In High School football was a big thing and I played as a running back. Little did I know this path would follow me from the states to my home town in Quito, Ecuador.
When I arrived in Ecuador I signed up to play for the first Ecuadorian football team called the Lobos de Quito, might I add this was the first Football (not soccer) franchise in Ecuador, and played against a team in Peru (Direwolfs). This I would say would be the start of my personal accomplishments from cycling, to trail runs, am a big fan of exercise, and soon will run in my second year 10K meet.
I would have to say the most important lesson I have encountered in my life would be the raising of my daughter, Hailey Abigail is my pride and joy and would do anything to see her accomplish her goals, not to mention she has made a real father out of me.
Why am I here at MROSupply, I believe in faith but understand faith is not all, my willingness to leave my comfort zone brought me here, where I saw I could make the biggest impact for others. While in MROSupply I learnt to be me, the better version that sees things through.
Am here to stay and with that comes my personal commitment to you! “Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.”
