James Thomas
Summary
My background as a veteran, founder, philanthropist, teacher, and leader has been useful on every construction site in my life. With over 20 years experience in residential and multi-family construction I am confident in being an asset to whichever organization I work for. My track record doesn't stop at success in professional environments. I have also founded and raised over $400,000 for "Doggie Paddle" a nonprofit raising money for veterans in need of service animals.
