As President and Owner of Mountain High Construction Company and Custom Homes, I managed all aspects of day-to-day business operations and customer relations with respect to the Company. Worked directly with the client to identify their building needs, prepare estimates and contracts, secure required permits and inspections, obtain materials and schedule delivery, coordinate and supervise, as necessary, all sub-contract work and execute the job to the client's satisfaction.

Construction experience includes, but is not limited to: residential and commercial remodeling; design and installation of "one of a kind" architectural projects, including commercial displays and storefronts; roofing, flooring, replacement windows and skylights; design and construction of decks, bathrooms, and kitchens, including custom cabinetry and furniture. Possess a solid expertise in all aspects of new construction; supervisory skills with respect to sub-contractors ensuring highest quality workmanship complying with code and timelines; and built a strong professional network among suppliers, architects, local government and other builders.

Self-employed contractor. Managed start-to-finish home remodeling projects and small commercial endeavors. Highlight: the successful completion of the Wantagh, New York Fire Department building three months ahead of schedule. This exemplifies my ability to organize, size, price and complete a quality commercial project. Throughout this project I managed the day-to-day construction efforts, worked with numerous subcontractors and reported to the Town of Wantagh Board with respect to construction timelines, budget and costs.
