Having worked in small firms my entire career, I have had the privilege in working in all aspects in design and construction. I consider myself to be very energetic, focused, and driven to succeed. Due to also completing various Single Family Addition projects on my own, I am able to see the big picture in projects and understand the need for effeciency and speed in all projects.
