A little bit about Kelly Killingsworth:
I grew up in a small town. Everyone knows everyone after high school I went into the military in 2007 to 2012. I went to Iraq in 08-09 and Afghanistan in 2012. After the military, I eventually used my G.I. bill to get my CDL license and become heavy equipment operator certified. I then joined the local union for six years and at the end of 2022 I became a licensed contractor with my general engineering license.
