  • Established a company in 2019 as a retail sales business.
  • The business has evolved over the past three years into a rental company of heavy equipment and trailers.
  • I own a mini excavator, a skid steer, multiple trailers, and miscellaneous equipment. Power cables, load center boxes, and heaters. The business has grown slowly over the years, allowing me to purchase and own new equipment each year.
