I started construction right out of high school as a helper of any and all crafts, with that being said I have had the privilege of working and learning the way through many of crafts before earning a position in a family trade as a surveyor and moving up from there, working from the bottom up gave the opportunity to learn the leadership, values, quality and skills of the craftsmanship that goes into the construction of a project and most of all the safety aspect to make sure everyone gets to go home and spend time with their families each and every day
I work hard, team player, loyal to employer, respect all employers above and or below, get along with everyone and willing to assist anyone in need
I'm going on 34 years of experience and I am firm believer in starting a project strong and finishing it strong no matter how big or small it may be
