E XPERIENCE
****–Present Providence Construction LLC. Fairhope, AL
Superintendent
In the latter part of 2008 JLTCC dissolved and has now partnered with
Providence Const.
I am currently fulfilling many needs within the company in hopes of
furthering my expertise in commercial, industrial and residential
construction as well as design and estimating.
My duties are primarily that of a typical Superintendent but frequently
involve management tasks as well.
2007–2009 J.L. Tatum Contracting Co. Inc. Gulfport, Ms
Superintendent
I decided to close my two building and restoration companies and begin
working for JLTCC so I could bring my expertise beyond the realm of
home building and remodeling.
Within two months of working for JLTCC I was coordinating the
construction of a 195 acre subdivision in Hattiesburg, MS from
conception to completion. I worked with and supervised crews that
performed most aspects of horizontal construction, Including water
feature design and build, extensive excavation, grade establishment,
headwalls, culverts, road base, curb and gutter, paving, shotcrete, water
line, sewer line, force main, lift stations, landscaping, brick masonry,
stone masonry, landscaping, erosion and drainage control, retention
ponds, and much more.
In mid 2008 I was moved to an 11 acre subdivision to coordinate the
development of the land and construct 42 three story luxury townhomes.
I worked with the crews during the installation of all utilities which
included sewer line and structures and water line that required well-point
assisted excavating to a depth of 12ft. We also installed porous paving in
specific areas to preserve the root systems of Live Oak trees.
While working for JLTCC I received extensive training in many fields of
construction. Including Construction Management, OSHA safety, Office
Management, Budget analysis, job tracking software, and other tasks
relating to superintendent and project manager duties.
All projects I was involved in for JLTCC were ahead of schedule and
under budget.
2006–July, 2007 B&R Contracting Gulfport, Ms
Manager
My partner and I (Danny Howard) moved our company to Biloxi, MS to
sub work from B&R.
Soon I was consulting them on all their restoration and remodeling,
personnel, and job coordination needs. After 2 months I was hired as
a manger and the owner of the company moved to Colorado. I
continued to run his (Guy Thacker) company for over 18 months. In
which time I was able to coordinate 4 in house crews, 20 subcontractors,
7 sales agents, and 3 project managers. We executed 3-10 contracts a
month involving all aspects of residential construction including drainage
and erosion control.
When I arrived at B&R Contracting their company was $140,000 in debt.
Because of the changes I implemented in the company, over the next 18
months we had overcome the deficit by more than $13,000.
2004–2006 C&D Construction Oklahoma City, OK
Owner, Partner
My partner (Danny Howard) and I bought out of Farmers construction.
We built custom homes and did a lot of restoration and remodeling. I
coordinated all aspects of the company while lending my experience to
the job site a couple of times a week.
In the summer of 2005 I went to Missouri to supervise a home building
crew for 5 months to help a friend (Hughes Construction) manage his
company and complete a surplus of work they had.

We did all aspects of remodeling and restoration from the small siding
and window jobs to building homes with intricate custom cabinetry and
landscaping. A lot of controlled demolition, painting, fencing of all
kinds. All phases of the residential projects were with “in house”
employees. My crew handled everything that did not involve HVAC,
electrical or plumbing. Although we did do minor repairs in all three
trades.
Implemented training for all new employees.
