Bio
Lee Sheeder
I was able to work with Marc on a large commercial renovation. Throughout the project Marc was on top of everything. Like many renovations on a 40 year old industrial building, unforeseen issues evolve. Marc was prepared to assess the situations as they arose and put a great solution in place for each. I found Marc was organized and always clear in communicating with his contractors and the ownership team. I enjoyed working with Marc and would not hesitate to recommend him to others.
