While I started my professional career in 1981 as an accountant and went from a Sr. Plant Accountant to a Controller within 2 years. I later became a Financial Controller for a Retail/Manufacturer till 1988, when due to the down turn in this retail business I started working as a pipelayer and quickly vaulted to project formen/superintendent. I have worked on all aspects of utilities and road improvement, including bridge installations over the thruway and canal. I have worked on NCDOT, SCDOT and NYDOT projects and various City projects. I also have vertical construction experience as a project manager/superintendent on various schools in NC and SC. I am very willing to share all my experiences through in future contacts.
