Started my career working in Local 669 metal trades. Worked in a union pipe fab shop for one year. I then got into the building trades for Local 669. Upon completing my apprenticeship I was made foreman for various projects ranging from small head relocates to 20 plus story high rises. I then moved into the service end of the business. Working closely with customers and end users to ensure code compliance and maintaining effective working systems. I then moved into an office role as field supervisor. I worked with customers and suppliers along with the 52 journeymen and apprentices I had working for me. When that company was sold I transferred back to the service end of the industry where I’m at today.
