SUMMARY
I have been a construction manager for more than 20 years in the
residential building/construction industry. I have been responsible for
the construction of tract and custom homes (1400 - 7000 sq. ft.), and
managed the initiation and completion of residential communities. I have
supervised many employees, and managed projects that have produced over 300
completions per year, with the majority completed prior to the projected
dates on/under budget. I have excellent leadership and communication
skills as well as a high standard of honesty and integrity. My experience,
mentoring attributes, and educational training make me an asset to any
organization.
