Jonathan Long Greenville, SC - Columbus, OH

Summary

I am a results-oriented entrepreneur specializing in residential construction. However, the core values, building philosophies and strategies that I developed while working as an entrepreneur and in previous employment opportunities are beneficial to many companies in a number of industries. Simply put, my business philosophy is "never jeopardize quality, and stand firm on your integrity". I am experienced in overseeing sales campaigns; implementing marketing strategies; installation logistics; reviewing company budgets; analyzing P&L; preparing project estimates; serving as project manager and leader to create an environment that promotes a team atmosphere. I have a keen sense towards magnifying an organization's core values through which ultimately affects the bottom line. As a veteran of today's construction industry, I pride myself not only on my knowledge of the industry, the trades, and the business, but on the quality of my work as well. I have an independent personality, but thrive from the synergy of a team atmosphere. All in all, I enjoy building relationships, leading, and motivating others, and I am as ambitious at 43 years of age as I was at 23. I am confident in my abilities, my value, and loyalty, and I am certain that providing me an opportunity to SERVE YOUR COMPANY AND CLIENTS would be a rewarding investment.
