Accomplishments
I immigrated to the United States at the age of 23 without any money, very little English and no job. At the age of 30 I had my own construction business. My experience from that has provided me a vast knowledge of many phases of business operation. I have raised a family of four and now I’m looking to apply my knowledge somewhere that is in need of my expertise.
