I started my career at EFCO in the fall of '00' as a door builder out in the shop. Learning the hardware and installation of the hardware impacted my career greatly thru out the years. The understanding of the hardware and the compatibility of hardware and doors has lead me to be in the Lead Estimator position I am in today. After building doors, a received a position as the Door line support. In the winter of '05', I transferred to the Factory Order Writer department for Storefront providing factory orders from detailed drawings for what the shop should be producing. In the fall of '05', I transferred to the estimating department. The estimators are responsible for quoting projects to the customers thru the EFCO Representatives using many different programs that are required depending upon the requirements for the project: I-required, E-beam, multiple Excel sheets, AS400, and Glazier Studio. The estimators have to engineer the products with tools and instructions the structural department has provided. In the last 12 years, my role as the Lead Estimator for the SF/CW estimating has changed with the changing leadership and progress of the company. My current job requirements include but not limited to the following: training all new estimators, checking their estimates for the start 2 years, review all estimated that are over $100K, sending those estimates on to upper management for additional approval, working with the estimators and Sales Reps to resolve issues that arise with quotes or applications, drawing details for the estimators, working with project managers/customer service for all reprices on sold jobs, review all new quotes and schedule daily workload when the scheduler is out of the office, help the estimators to insure the daily workload is complete, and all duties assigned by the supervisor. As a goal to farther my leadership skills, I have attended numerous Leadership seminars which has enhanced my ability to be able to relate to different types for people and insure their training is best for them.Before the pandemic, I was involved in the Emergency Brigade for several years, participating in numerous training for chemical spills, Hazmat, and Disasters, etc. I have a well rounded interest life outside of the corporate world. I am a Christian, enjoy helping people when possible, bow hunt, hike the CO mountains, camping, baking, crafting, and being organized.
