I have formulated, facilitated and provided instruction in all aspects of construction including city approvals, land procurement, development, sales training and management. My experience also includes interaction and participation with the Board of Directors, Senior Management, contractors, vendors, and sales consultants. I can bring this level of expertise to your organization.
Some of my personal qualities include dedication to quality work, dependability, a strong work ethic, attention to detail, and excellent organizational and time management skills.
