3rd generation bricklayer till I decided I wanted out of construction. Went to college and finished with a business degree. Had a friend who's Dad worked for oil & gas company in TX who hired me right out college. Moved to TX and stayed 16yrs. Stayed 4 yrs with 1st company then went to work for another company in the oil and gas, then left and started a contractor business until my current company and owner ask me to close my shop and come on board. I often think back on my visions for that company, and where it might today but after 24 yrs with my current employer I have no regrets. I was able to help him build his business and we have been bought 2 times in last 8yrs. It's been a good ride !
