CAREER SUMMARY

This company is a strong competitor in the heavy hauling market in northern VA. I prepared over $100 million in bids and

For fiscal year 2012, we made a commendable profit and in 04/2013 reestablished our bonding for public work. The

company was moving forward in great part from my efforts at restructuring the way we bid work by focusing on actual

cost rather than historical pricing to help gain profitable work. We focused our efforts on our strengths and subcontracted

managed those changes.
