“I graduated from Eastern Kentucky University with a degree in construction management. After graduation I got a job with the largest government contractor in the country called Codell Construction out of Montgomery, Alabama. I was transfered to Rockford, Illinois to build a Federal Court House. That little town was not for me and ended up back in Kentucky 4 months later.
For the past two years I have been working for Graves & Dean Construction as a project manager building all types of commercial projects for customers like Starbucks, Southern States, Staples, Rite Aid and Aramark.
Once the construction market gets better I will go out on my own and start my own company. Its always been a dream of mine since my first architecture class at Dunbar.
As far as sports goes I did not play baseball in college. But did attempt the Remax World Long Drive Challenge, which you see on ESPN christmas day. I made it to the semi finals in Chicago, Illinois and got beat out to go to Vegas for the finals.
Despite having 2 shoulder surgeries and soon to be third. I still love playing softball and golf with most of the guys from this team.
