I got my start in construction as a residential house framer in Windsor at the age of 19. I was attending the University of Windsor at the time. I needed a summer job to support myself, while in school taking Psychology, so I applied to an add looking for a laborer. I soon found I had a love for construction and changed career paths immediately. In some form or another I have been in the construction realm since. When the time was right for me, I had my own construction businesses and did well for myself for a long time. I met my common law wife, soon afterwards. We had kids and I needed the security of a job with benefits once again. I started working as a Site Supervisor, for a company called Century Group Inc. out of Mississauga. I had the opportunity to see many of the great cities in Canada with them and got to travel to every Province West of Ontario and even a few out East as well. At 47 years of age, I was fortunate enough to be able to return to school and moved to London Ontario. I attended Fanshawe College and studied in the Construction Project Management Course there. What an absolutely wonderful experience that was. As an adult, I would highly recommend school at that age; as you have a different appreciation of why you are there. I graduated the course in January of 2020. Since graduating, I have had the opportunity to work with Elgin Construction and Renovating and also one of the oldest construction companies in Canada – Hayman Construction Inc. Neither was the right fit. Fortunately, I was given the opportunity in October of 2023 to join the Dancor Construction Team, as one of their Site Managers and have not looked back since.
