Summary

Worked as a branch manager in banking immediately after college for SunTrust. Found out I enjoyed working with my hands and building knowledge and became a General contractor and was lucky enough to get hired by a company performing construction throughout the Caribbean. I always enjoyed working with my hands and enjoyed the satisfaction of seeing a project from start to finish. The one area I need more experience in is mastering the different computer programs available in the building industry. Most of my working life has been in construction.
