I have 39 years of experience in the construction industry. My experience ranges from building skyscrapers and interstates to barndominiums and houses. I currently own my own construction business. This is my fourth year to teach the Construction pathway at GHS. I am an Old Goat myself, having graduated in 1980 and I am proud to say that all four of my children are GISD graduates.
