After graduating Nait, I continued my career as a retail manager at River Valley Cycle which I eventually purchased from the original owner. The process, personnel, inventory and money management skills I developed while living this segment of my life to the fullest enabled me to transition into the industry I am in today.During my transition from retail to construction, I was fortunate to be the primary project manager for a start up alternative energy concept called gasification. This experience enabled me to further my love of science and learn about government funding as well as raising public funds for new projects.Currently I am proud to be at the helm of our Coatings contracting company which continues to grow thanks primarily to the incredible people that have joined our family.Speaking of family, I have 2 successful adult kids and an incredible wife of 28 years.
