Why Did You Become a Tasker?
Brian previously worked as a skilled welder. Unfortunately, he was laid off and needed to find a side gig to help. That began what would turn out to be a life-changing search.

What’s Your Top Memorable Tasking Experiences?
Although Brian is deaf, using tools like the chat feature in the Tasker app and the Live Caption app have helped him successfully communicate with customers and task his way to 5-star success!
“Taskrabbit has provided me with numerous memorable tasks. For example, I had an amazing experience with a client who was proficient in American Sign Language (ASL). We had great conversations—they were either from the UK or somewhere in Europe, I can’t quite recall. We chatted, and I even taught them some new ASL signs.
For more detailed interactions, we used my Live Caption app, which utilizes voice recognition. It was an astonishing and rewarding experience.”
