What are your credentials? How many years have you been in the industry?

I started my career working for the DOD in Kings Bay GA where I started as an apprentice and climbed the ladder to a Project Manager/Project Planner. In 2019 my wife and I built a home in Yulee and I quickly fell in love with residential construction. Over the next few years I immersed myself in the industry learning everything I could and building several homes for family and friends. In 2024, after 14 years with the DOD I made the full time switch to construction. I am currently working through the testing process to get my own license with I intend to complete by the end of 2025.
