In my construction career, I have been involved with the development of over 25 new

residential communities in the Chicagoland area. The main focus was value engineering

to produce the best product at the lowest possible cost. During a 8 year career change

in the sales arena, I established a working relationship with over 100 clients based on

teamwork and reliability. Since returning to construction, I have utilized the training from

both careers to better achieve my goals.
