So I’ve seen first hand what it takes to get a new ceiling division started in a huge GC. It just so happens that this same man taught me the trade since day one I was his right hand man from apprentice to journeyman to foreman he is the main reason I have the knowledge and skillset I have and we are still very close to this day. I encourage you to reach out to him and ask him yourself about me. I’m sure I’ll be calling him for advice along the way. The first two years will be rough but once this ball is rolling I’m telling you the sky is the limit and I’m 100% confident that we will succeed at this.
