Who I am and what I can do for you and your team:

My career has had a broad spectrum of responsibilities from starting out as a painter’s helper to a Foreman running high rise apartment jobs and working on secure government sites. I have been cleared by both the Federal and State government to work on sites in Maryland, DC and Virginia.

I am experienced with all aspects of the field including new and old techniques; vintage finishes as well as specialty finishes and coatings. I am a responsible trustworthy employee who always looks for an opportunity to make work run faster, smoother and more cost efficient for the company while maximizing profitability. I have over 25 years of progressive management experience in the commercial paint industry, managing both interior & exterior projects and would love to bring all my skills and training to your company as an addition to an already impressive organization.
