Summary
I personally constructed 3 housing projects for myself. I worked with many contractors on large-scale projects. Work was always completed on time and within the budget. I built a brand and reputation in business. I oversaw as many as ten employees. I am a hard worker and I enjoy working with other dedicated people to complete a task. I can think outside of the box when necessary.
