I oversaw the development of a small business from two guys looking to make some extra money to the establishment of a very competitive operation capable of performing large commercial projects.This business opened my eyes to the amount of effort it takes to get a start-up operational and profitable. I have had the privileged of performing nearly every duty that a business person must perform to stay afloat from marketing and sales to payroll and maintenance.

Market research, advertising, brand development, customer/client relations and various other business development projects.
