With nearly 40 years of hands-on experience in construction, 20 years of which as an independent contractor and small business owner, I have learned “to wear many hats.”  Because the entire scope of responsibility falls directly on my shoulders, I strive to provide the apex of quality assurance in all work that I do. This is one reason for my current extensive legal training.
