‘My family and I love it here’

Skinny, a Precision Pipeline tie-in foreman working on Enbridge’s Line 3 replacement, says he’s forged plenty of friendships on this project since he arrived in Minnesota. “I love what I do for a living. I wouldn’t be out here if I didn’t,” he says. “I love bringing in people from different cultures, different races, and working together as a team . . . and I’ve felt very welcome as a traveler from outside of this state.”
