Work History:

L & G Construction (Owner) 06/1999 - Present

6663 Hamilton Street Supervised 0 - 5 men

Chino, CA., 91710 Self employed - Income varies

I have been working as a general contractor doing a variety of construction related projects from the simple house remodels, to major commercial remodels and from simple mold and water remediation and a full rebuild. (Pictures available upon request).

Just one of recent commercial tenant improvements has just been purchased at 341 Bayside Drive, Newport Beach, right on the water by the Irvine Company.

We first remodeled the outside of the building, brick in the driveway and parking lot set in sand, new concrete planters, stripping, lighting, landscape, rebuilding the second floor, pavers on the second floor, etc...

The inside was a wood framed building with raised a foundation that had been cut into three sections and moved onto the site. The building was originally an approximately 16,000 square foot home and then used for

office/retail.

We demoed and opened the floor plan for a larger tenancy that was splittable but without tenants.

The space had very fancy woodwork throughout and the owner again wished to maintain the same look. After blowing out the interior it was again finished with similar detail woodwork.

When we were just about to turn the project over to the owner. An upscale jeweler tenant was located but they needed it gutted again. They needed it gutted again as they had specific needs for a 12’ x 15’ vault, lighting, security system, equipment for a full jeweler to fabricate their own jewelry, but they loved the detail. Which we again did. (Selected pictures available with tenant’s approval as they do have a security issue).

Prior History:

6663 Hamilton Street Supervised 2 - 5 men

Chino, CA., 91710 Self employed - Salary varies about $25.00 - $30.00/hr

After American Pacific Financial Corp. relocated to Colorado (See Below). I built patios for a local lumber yard known for their detailed wood working. The son of the owner at Chino Lumber & Hardware generated plans in house building decks and patios. I built both from the basic patios but we quickly developed more involved, multilevel, arched roof lines or cantilevered patios and the cement work. We did curved patios with water falling from the patio into koi ponds and on and on.

During this time we started to do the LA Pomona Fair. The first was the basic 10‘ x 10‘ way in the back of the fair. Once the promotors saw our space the following year they moved our space to the center and cut our cost in half and doubled the size.

The last year we did the Fair, our space was the featured space of 40‘ x 60‘ and at no cost. We did this solid for five years before he got an job doing engineering which was his dream.

I stopped counting after 300 patios, decks, balconies and concrete. Pictures are available if you are interested.

American Pacific Financial Corporation 01/1988 - 12/1996

225 W. Hospitality Lane Salary began $3,800

San Bernardino, CA. went to $5,200

Men supervised 0 - 25

Duties:

Previous to this I worked for American Pacific Financial Corporation. The prior owner, who I worked for National Heritage Development, sold both their finished and un-finished commercial, industrial and residential projects to American Pacific Financial Corporation (APFC) who had been their sole funding source.

Once the construction portions were completed. I continued doing maintenance and emergency repairs for the centers.

Later, I was put in charge of repairs and leasing the centers. To complete this after minimal success in getting new tenants for the auto center I began two auto business’s in one of the centers for them. One business was a tune up shop and one a quick change oil change service. We then successfully sold both business’s to separate owners, with favorable leases to the APFC and thereby adding almost $900,000 in value from the two additional leases.

Another project I completed for APFC while doing the maintenance of the buildings involved three office buildings on Hospitality Lane in San Bernardino. Southern California Edison had a program to coordinate the switch out of lighting.

The net savings we lowered expenses for the projects close to $75,000 without raising rents. At the then 10 cap rate valuation for the buildings raised the total value $750,000.

The last project I performed for APFC was handling the sale of a future off ramp site in Vista, CA. Both a condemnation action and the appraisal were presented to APFC. Two of us then began dissecting each sale, found more offramp sites the appraiser had missed or valued incorrectly due to the individual circumstances. We documented the added value and APFC increased the final purchase $900,000 from Cal Trans.

Reason for leaving:

While working at APFC I continued doing the maintenance work for them as I could do it quicker and at a reduced cost.

The company relocated to Denver, CO. I chose to remain in Southern CA. as all of our family was here. If they had not moved I would probably still be there as it allowed me great latitude in the work.

Prior History:

National Heritage Development (NHD) 01/1984 - 01/1988

Santa Fe Springs, CA Salary $3,800

Men supervised 5-20

Duties:

National Heritage was a small development company that required everyone to handle multiple roles. While I did maintenance for them, I also performed the due diligence to determine where we would build the projects. Gathering the information documenting population tends, car counts on major intersections then specific street and finally available properties located and their asking prices, the specifics on properties to purchase and purchase.

Commercial, industrial and residential projects were purchased by NHD. The funds coming from APFC and together we built various projects from the dirt to the leasing of the buildings.

At NHD, I started in general maintenance and then grew into putting me in charge of the outside field operations on all of their construction projects.

Reason for leaving:

The company closed its doors when NHD transferred ownership to their funding source APFC.

Was doing larger projects. National Heritage Development approached me to joint venture a project and felt I would make a good fit.
