JTS Construction

• President/Owner

  • Feb 2005 - Mar 2007

  As a general contractor building high end residential single family homes, I had finally found a career that I was passionate about. Our houses ran from 7,000 to 11,000 sq ft. My duties included everything from initial home design with Owner and Architect, permitting, budgeting, sub contracting, coordinating all work, upholding build standards, coordinating inspections, contract closeout and delivery. I was working directly with a developer in the Naperville, IL area building out custom home sub divisions. We had also gotten into a financing arrangement with Countrywide, which in late 2006 started to falter. Unfortunately by early in 2007, when all 8 of our current projects were financed through Countrywide, they pulled the plug on all 8 and because my company was so new, we were forced to close the doors.

Premium Concrete, Inc.

• Project Manager

  • Nov 1997 - Nov 2003

  My duties included all accounting for this $10 million annual concrete contractor. I also bid projects and coordinated projects in the field. In addition the company owned 4 commercial properties that I managed. This was a very good position, but since the two people above me were the owners, I had nowhere to move up to.
