Education

GED

Mountain View High School | Mesa
1987 I quit during my senior year of high school to go back to work at my summer job. I guess I just loved working and making money. I worked for my grandfather's company, SWD Urethane Co. / Arizona Foam and Spray. I loved learning new things, learning a trade. I got paid well for my age and was able to advance quickly.

Gilbert Community College | Gilbert | 01-1992
  • 1 ½ years August
  • My grandfather and his partners wanted me to go to college to advance in their company. My first wife honestly was jealous of me going to school after several arguments. I quit and went back to work. Stupidest thing I ever did. I was getting paid to go to school! We got divorced three years later and I have been in the trades ever since.

Accomplishments

  • High Country Roofing Inc.
  • Payson, AZ. President, Qualifying party
  • June 1999 - March - 2000
  • In June of 1999 I started my own roofing company. I found out I was good at sales, measuring complex custom home roofs, and had a good reputation as an excellent roofer. I started to get busy after a few months and had to hire help. At that stage of my life I found out quickly that hiring the right people and keeping them busy was difficult. I realized I didn't have enough prior experience as a foreman or superintendent to run my company smoothly. Moved to Alaska with my girlfriend (now and still my wife).
  • Down Right Roofing LLC.
  • Juneau, AK. Owner, Operator
  • April 2013 - October 2015
  • I started my own roofing/construction company. My wife wanted to go to nursing school but Alaska had a 4 year wait. We had bought a home in Arizona in 2009 and I had been going back and forth to Alaska (8 mo. AK.-4 mo. AZ.). I was either a foreman or superintendent for a construction company that let me spend winters in Arizona. I decided to start my own roofing and siding company to finance my wife through college in Arizona. And when she got her license I would put myself through home inspection school to work full time in Arizona. After getting experience as a foreman and superintendent in Alaska, having my own company was much easier.
