been there and done that. The one thing I have learned is it takes a team to make things work right. I'm looking to be part of a team where I can utilize my 20+ years of residential construction/property management experience to help lead an established team and share my knowledge with those willing to learn. I'm still young, in my early 40s, but I know the challenges all to well of owning a business. I'm not looking to do that anymore. Family is important to me, I'm actually a grandpa of 3 so my goal is to not be thinking about running a business 24/7.
