PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY
	
I have 42 years in business, I started when I was 16. Sales lead to construction and then both became one in the same. When I ran my companies over the years i learned I have to accept change and be adaptable. There will always be someone who thinks he or she knows more, so find out! Surround yourself with the best trades and talent you can find, treat them with respect, dignity and pay them on time. Everyone brings value to the table. A good manager works with them, a great manager gets them involved in the process, works & directs to make sure they succeed, only when they do, then you do as well. I am 58 and still learning and wanting to build and create. I have left a respectable mark in the city of Calgary. I am currently looking for new and exciting adventures to build along with amazing people to meet and call friends.
