Summary
Together, my wife and I have successfully raised four children and are now empty-nesters. While I have spent the past six
years in the construction trade, I’ve previously devoted two decades to being a top national performer in sales, having
driven over 1.5 million business miles.
Anybody can “work smart”. And I take great pride in achieving outstanding results with average talent. I’m a dependable
team player, with paramount compliance, dedication, and accountability. For me, hard work is its own reward.
