Summary
I have worked in the construction industry over 40 years with the same family. I began as a carpenter, framing houses from the ground up. I can now walk lots and determine what house styles and characteristics could be built on the land. I have built spec homes and custom homes. I take pride in my work and it shows. Dedicated worker, great at multi-tasking and wearing many hats.
I look forward to speaking to you about your current job opening.
Thank you,
