• I worked as a journeyman carpenter installing millwork and cabinets. I also worked as a foreman, from time to time, supervising small jobs. I supervised up to 15 men at a time, on jobs less than 2 million dollars. Coordinated job-site installations and delivery of necessary materials. Also I communicated with job-site superintendants to make sure work progress and schedules were met, and attended all foreman meetings. Most of these jobs were very "high-end", consisting of stain grade and faux finish millwork and casework. Interpreted shop drawings and architectural blueprints to create all lay-out for millwork installation at jobsite, as well as build templates of walls, ceilings, etc. for shop fabrication. I installed crown moulding, casings, archways, wall panels, doors & hardware (residential and commercial including panic hardware), trim, ceiling treatments, cabinets, restaurant booths, full bars w/footrail and drink scupper, FRP paneling @ back of house side, GFRC, GFRG, and other types of castings, bathroom vanities, ADA requirements,etc....
