My journey as a professional began when I was just 15 years old, during the summer of my junior year in high school, working two jobs. One in construction, the other in the restaurant industry. I've always held a strong work ethic, and that drive has propelled me through every endeavor I've pursued.Graduating high school in 2003 was a significant milestone for me. Determined to carve my path, I embarked on a unique journey – putting myself through college while simultaneously working full-time in the construction industry. I was able to obtain a bachelors degree with a 3.86gpa, with a diploma that says "Cum Laude". This experience instilled in me a sense of discipline and a deeper appreciation for the value of knowledge and hard work.During my college years, I focused on psychology and business management. This knowledge greatly enriched my understanding of human behavior and organizational dynamics. My education has been a cornerstone of my success, enabling me to excel in every role I've undertaken.Over the years, I've embraced various opportunities in the construction industry that have broadened my skill sets, and knowledge. My experiences have encompassed an array of roles across different companies, including ventures of my own.I have worked in several of the trades including roofing, painting, electrical, drywall, plumbing, and finish carpentry. I've achieved the status of journeyman finish carpenter and journeyman electrician and have navigated the realms of business ownership, management, marketing, accounting, and business development. I've cherished every interaction with customers, elevating my commitment to exceptional service and sales. Networking has become second nature to me, allowing me to foster connections that drive growth and opportunity. And perhaps most rewarding of all, I've had the privilege of sharing my knowledge and expertise by training others, passing on the torch of skill and passion. I believe that growth is a continuous process, and I remain committed to expanding my knowledge and expertise through every experience.In all that I do, whether it's crafting intricate woodwork, devising strategic business plans, or connecting with people from all walks of life, one thing remains constant: my unwavering passion. Passion for my craft, for learning, for growth, and for making a meaningful impact on the world around me.
