Summary

I have a long reaching history in many areas of construction, sales, management, and buisness ownership.

I began as a laborer for a general remodeling company and worked my way up to Foreman.

After a relocation I purchased a kitchen remodeling franchise and have built the buisness over the past ten years, while developing my skills in project management, sales, data entry for complex ordering, design, as well as staff hiring and management.
