Grand Rapids, Mi. — 2001-2005 I was a foreman and a lead equipment operator onMDOT and local agency projects, many large commercial site projects, residential plats,educational reconstruction projects and municipal street scapes.

R Ramoie Contracting was a joint venture for my father Ron and I after the sale of MolonExcavating to the Walton’s. We focused on the residential market, digging basements,installing septic systems, water and sewer connections and small road/subdivisiondevelopments. We also assisted the leading landscape company with many of their projectsby providing screened topsoil, retaining walls, earthwork and laser automated finish grading.

My father started Molon in 1978 with “$50 a wheel barrel and a shovel” (his words). Thename Molon is derived from “mowing lawns”, the way he started. At the time of the sale in1998 the company had grown to gross more than $5 million a year, had 40 employee’scomprised of 2 dirt crews an asphalt crew, a concrete crew with a curb machine andconcrete trucks. It was here that at the age of 5 I began to help labor and operateequipment that included a curb machine, asphalt paver and road grader by the age of 14during my summer breaks. These early years have proven to be most priceless inrelationships and memories that have shaped my path through the construction industry.
