Accomplishments
While working for a Drywall Company, I was part of the crew to work on the Historical Elementary School in Colonial Williamsburg, Mathew Whaley. I was called in when no one could achieve the circular archway in the main entrance and to preserve the historical archway, a specialist was needed. I completed the task and in a time crunch for school was to come back in session.
