My career started in the communication construction industry in the late 80's as a laborer. Through many
years I worked my way to the president position for a large Telecom construction company with revenues
upwards of $35M. I have been in the trenches to the board rooms. With the hands on experience and
knowledge that I have acquired through the years, I would be an asset to your company.
