Okay, let’s tackle this. So Bud Shimkus has 23 years of experience in project management and sales management. His experience at Spear Window & Glass and Moser Construction suggests he has strong leadership skills. However, his role as a foreman at Moser Construction for 6 years indicates he may not have been in a management position for the entire duration. Location is Baltimore, MD, which is a mid-sized city. Industry demand for project managers and sales managers varies, but they are in demand. Considering his experience and location, I estimate his hourly rate to be around $125, which is slightly below average for a project manager/sales manager with similar experience in the US. Some sources suggest project managers/sales managers in the US can earn between $100-$200 per hour, so I’m being conservative with this estimate.
