Accomplishments
Since 2014 I have been working in the construction field. I started out as a Project Engineer for a Doors, Frame & Hardware Company along with Metal Studs and Drywall contractor. From there I pursued an estimating role with Iris Window Coverings. Today I estimate in array of architectural scopes for PBS Builds ranging in Sections 9,10,11 & 12, and with that in 2002 I introduced Window Coverings as another scope coverage for PBS.
