  • Growing up, I worked most Saturdays helping my contractor dad with installations of awnings and patio covers.
  • In June 2003, 1-month before earning my Eagle Scout, I started doing installations as well as inside sales (will-call), job scheduling, and manufacturing.
  • In 2007 I started outside sales for mobile home and residential awnings and shade solutions
  • In 2008 started commercial sales and project management. Bid off of blueprints, and would oversee the job until the final retention check came in. This included installing if someone called in sick.
  • In 2012 became Vice President of Operations overseeing every commercial job, and making sure all materials were ordered from vendors on time and accurately
  • In 2019, dad retired, I had a 3-year trial of running the business as if it was my own
  • 2022 became President and CEO of the company
  • All of my adult life, and nearly my whole life, I have been working in this specific construction niche of providing shade.
