Education

Accomplishments

High School Diploma

Faribault Senior High School - Faribault, MN

I have worked in this industry for 30 years and have done just about every type of construction related to civile construction. Have been especiially heavily involved in the aggregate business and have made a career out of finding viable untapped aggregate deposits, permitting them, and opening them up, mining and restoring properties after mining.

We built and incredible business and were simply caught in the construction downturn when the economy began to crash in 2008, and 2009. We were faced with way too much Debt, we grew from start up to 150 employees and performing 45 million dollars of work. We were young when we started and had simply not enough years experience in terms of recognizing the crash that was about to hit our, State and Country and the effects that would have on our business. I wouldnt wish this difficult time on anyone, but during this tumultuous time the one thing I got out of it was a lifetime of experience and A desire to work harder to recover from the experience. My many years of business experience I feel fits well with your business, especially my years of experience in the Aggregate Business.
