Summary
With a proven track record of over 40 years in various construction fields I excel in job site management and fostering client relationships. My expertise in construction estimating and site safety, coupled with a knack for exceeding client expectations, has significantly contributed to project success and efficiency. Renowned for strategic planning and effective team collaboration, I consistently deliver quality results. I have hands on experience in nearly all phases of construction, estimating job costs and construction sales. I am an innovative person who has never turned away from a new challenge. Much of my hands on experience is from necessity and my ability to utilize previous experience to overcome new challenges. I am a dedicated person, extremely reliable, honest to the core. I help others when called upon without reservation. I am not a person who never makes a mistake but if and when I do I am quick to admit it and learn from it. In my opinion, the company that hires me will be getting far more than their money's worth. I am a strong believer in earning my keep and leading by example.
