“My passion in life has been building great companies, projects, and people. During the journey, developing long-lasting relationships, key processes, and measurable metrics to guide great results. I listened and learned in over 35+ years of experience where I participated in over 300 projects, worked with 1000s of amazing and equally passionate people and trades who supported my growth. I am most happy to return to building projects, solving projects, and growing other companies at this stage in life to give back and contribute my knowledge developed though lessons learned and best practices over a career that has never felt like work.”
