years of professional experience
Over the years I have helped more than 500 students obtain their GOD'S. I started in the trades at age 16 With Culver Const. At 18 I joined the U.S. ARMY, where I spent 4 years in West Germany serving our country. I returned to the trades in 1991 with the Local Laborer Union, performing various job duties on multiple bridge construction jobs, including the Glen Jackson Bridge. I'm a 4th generation tradesman that has seen and performed work that many today have not. I enjoy passing down my knowledge and skills to those who wish to learn.
