I had the pleasure of working with Bill at PepperJax Grill in Omaha, NE as well as in Denver, CO (where the office is currently located), and where he was the Director of Construction for the Development Department. Even though Bill’s position had recently been eliminated due to budgetary reasons, I still occasionally have the pleasure to communicate with Bill as he is still willing to supports our group and myself in the transition.

While I have only known Bill personally for a year, I can attest to his professionalism, integrity, commitment and high level of initiative. Not only is he very organized and efficient, he is an absolute pleasure to work with and highly respected by his business partners. Bill has a creative nature and is proficient in all aspects of construction management. In his role, there are often last-minute deadlines and he is extremely reliable and willing to put in extra effort to get things completed on time. His cooperative attitude and good nature are important and definitely produced results. Although his primary duties were in construction management, he assumed some facilities maintenance administrative duties as well, when there was a need, which speaks to his flexibility and nature of a good team player.

Bill deserves serious consideration as a potential employee, and I recommend him highly. His unique blending of experience and skills provide a winning combination for producing positive results for any dynamic company.

Bill's duties with us were to manage all aspects of our aggressive building plans for both Ames Development and PepperJax Grill, both of which I owned. Starting with his first project, Bill saved us a tremendous amount of money and he continually looked for ways to cut cost without compromising quality. He was very organized, and kept in contact with the contractors and kept them on task and within budget all the while he maintained an excellent working relationship with them. He was honest, dependable, hardworking and a team player. We are no longer expanding our Ames Development real estate holdings, but if we were, Bill would be the first person we would hire to manage our construction.
