About

Passionate Construction Professional | Business Development & Sales Enthusiast With over 22 years in construction, I’ve built my career on hard work, problem-solving, and delivering results. From hands-on site work to managing projects, estimating costs, and leading teams, I’ve developed a deep understanding of the industry—one that goes beyond the technical and into the relationships that drive it forward. Now, I’m bringing this experience into Construction Sales & Business Development. I understand the challenges contractors, developers, and suppliers face because I’ve lived them. I know what clients need, how projects succeed (or fail), and what makes a great partnership. My goal is to connect businesses with the right solutions—whether that’s materials, services, or expertise—to help them save time, reduce costs, and deliver quality work. I thrive in fast-paced, high-energy environments where negotiation, problem-solving, and relationship-building make the difference. I’m looking for opportunities in sales, account management, or business development where I can leverage my industry knowledge and drive growth for a company that values ambition and expertise. If you're looking for someone who understands both the job site and the boardroom, let’s connect!

    Quoting clients and other stakeholders on job costs. I regularly discuss project plans with relevant stakeholders and clients. I source and purchase the appropriate materials for various projects. I manage and direct teams to complete complex contracts per contract requirements. I often consult with other on-site contractors to ensure project deadlines are met on time. I have maintained good relationships over a prolonged period of time with multiple clients who regularly refer my work to other contractors.
