Summary

I was born and raised in Danbury as was my mother, my father who came to Danbury in 1962 worked in construction and I worked for my father and his partner in a busy hardwood floor company doing mostly new construction in small and large new housing developments. I worked most of the summers and weekends in between school years and during, delivering, installing, and sanding and finishing until high school graduation where I then worked full time, I still do it today as much as possible but there’s not enough work to keep me busy daily so I’d like to deliver or stay busy doing any other kind of work to get a steady paycheck. I’m married almost 30yrs with two daughters 26 and 23 and own my own home in Redding CT. I like traveling, and fishing to in my dad’s home town in New Brunswick, Canada.
