If he’s not building his motorcycle, you may find him at the drag strip or drift track with his
buddies. He’s also into playing “Call of Duty” and “Forza Horizon” on his Xbox, but in the summer months, look for him outside at a music festival or hitting the mountain in the winter. Follow him on Instagram @juniormoraless_ and gamer tag @terpsdaily710.
What is most important to you?
Family always comes first. I’m the youngest of five so I’ve had a lot of role models in my life. I’ve got a 3-year-old daughter, too, so I put most of my time into making sure she has everything she needs.
What did you do before getting into the Cannabis game?
I just turned 26, and before this job, I was a handyman for Kubota tractors, doing just about everything for them, including sales. I would sometimes sit behind the counter, be in the shop disassembling things, or I’d be out loading and unloading semis. I love working with cars. I have a couple buildouts currently in progress.
Do you feel like your life has improved since entering this industry?
I’ve gotten a lot of dirt off my shoulders by creating a relationship with the plant. A lot of people wake up every day dreading having to go to work, but I wake up excited to go to work. I especially love seeing people smile when they see me in the shop, and sometimes, they bring me cookies.
Where do you see yourself at 40 years old?
Hopefully I’ve got myself a nice little business. I’ve been looking into getting back to school to become a professional welder because I enjoyed doing that back in high school.
What do you think you did for a living in a past life?
Probably worked on cars. My brother and father are both mechanics.
What’s your dream car?
A 2000 Nissan Skyline R34, like the one out of “2 Fast 2 Furious.”
