SKILLS

Continuing in a three generation family tradition, I have been involved in every aspect of construction, from the ground up. I have run my own jobs, ran other peoples jobs and physically contributed to every trade involved. I have been put in charge of cost estimates. I have developed special skills in defusing tensions with both customers and sub-contractors. I am honest, respectful and responsible. I enjoy solving challenges, and working as a team.
