I first started in construction through the restoration industry, I had a friend who worked for a local company who recruited me. Although I had experience in trades and janitorial for years prior, but once I started fully into construction, I have never wanted to leave it.

I started as a field technician and have developed my knowledge and experience into being a strong project coordinator, and have overseen some large, complicated renovations and builds in residential and commercial settings, and successfully overseen them through to completion. When the final piece of paperwork goes out at completion.
