BEN BRADLEY
SANTA BARBARA,CA
Summary
I have been a contractor for nearly 20 years and I've been in the construction field for 30. In my early 20's I was a union carpenter spending years working on bridges, road and water ways and Montecito mansions. I know what goes into the dirt-work and geo-mesh under a structure as well as the title 24 energy compliant components that go in the structure. I understand the details. I can run heavy equipment, lead carpenters and negotiate contracts. I have a very well rounded skillset and have managed through many challenges. I am a very engaged individual that can delegate and take ownership of a chain of command.
