Summary

I have been in construction for 42 years. I started working weekends and summers when I was 14 years old. I started as a laborer and worked my way to a carpenter, then a foreman and then to superintendent. I spent 10 years as a union carpenter and foreman before I became a superintendent. I currently run commercial construction projects including government jobs. I am quality driven while completing projects on time.
