If I have a project in that area at the time you can certainly shadow me.

Shadow and learn from him.You won't get experience if you don't do it, and you are not going to do it until you gain experience. 

Lol @Brian Hughes - yes, Seattle city council seems to think us landlords are “the dark side”.

I would expect it to look similar if doing solid black (plain or galaxy) granite and dark grey or black grout. 

I was starting to wonder if my data was being sold on the dark web  :)   The rep insisted that I enter all of our assets, real estate holdings, liabilities, etc line by line into their application even though I had submitted an excel spreadsheet with all of it clearly listed. 

Many times, your not the only creditor coming after them so they go dark after getting hounded for a while.

I was around 16 when I first calculated my net worth.I shoveled snow (I actually looked forward to a big storm and was up at the crack of dawn with a shovel on my shoulder and wasn't back home until dark), cut grass, raked leaves, etc.). 

If you can tie your shoes in the dark, you can mig weld.

I'd request the opportunity to shadow them, continuously learning and contributing along the way.
