Our Beginnings
At a very early age I enjoyed creating things. I loved to watch broken down buildings transform into something beautiful and full of new life. Growing up the son of a general contractor, I was blessed to experience these transformations quite often. I was thankful to attend the Florida State University for undergraduate studies and their MBA program which kept me in the sunshine state! In 2004 I obtained my own General Contractors license and began to tackle just about any project an owner would award me. Nothing has changed today, as we continue to focus on serving those that need guidance and help with construction and development projects.
What makes a great project? – The ability to bring people and resources together, in order to achieve a greater outcome for everyone involved, that is how I view a great project. From the crews digging ditches to the president of the company, everyone plays an important role in the overall success of a project. At any given time, I can wear anyone of those hats, whatever it takes, just keep moving forward.
