Taking entrepreneurial initiative toward the residential construction industry molded me into a diligent and effective tradesman with a great work ethic and interpersonal skills. From minor repair jobs to mid to larger scale multi trade projects I developed my mind to think in the macro and the micro elements simultaneously to aid in the smooth and successful completion of the project. By personally understanding the duties and liabilities that a company must endure I can align my conduct with procedural and safety goals effectively and efficiently.
