Site Manager

10.2016 - 02.2026
- I have worked for my family's construction company off and on since I was old enough to be with my dad.
- I learned how to roof, frame, and pretty much everything else besides electric and plumbing.
- I oversaw residential remodels and roofing jobs. My leadership abilities were put out front due to ahead of schedule completion rate, and great customer service that led to more work and promotion to overseeing commercial jobs with subcontractors and more responsibilities.
- I learned how to delegate work to subcontractors and make sure they were on schedule. Learned to communicate and operate with larger number of employees answering directly to me. I took more hands on role in talent acquisition. I established my name as someone who will get the job done right, ahead of schedule and cheap as possible.
