My History * April 2014 to present happily employed at a large successful paving & site work company in eastern Massachusetts with 60 plus employees and two owners. In addition to field measuring and providing paving quotes to homeowners and businesses, I was charged with developing the site work arm of the business. I did this successfully by providing accurate takeoffs of plans, pricing work that included scope beyond our then level of expertise and then helping to supervise bringing our enhanced crews up to speed for the profitable completion of the projects. My winning bids ranged from 3K to 650K. I brought in 1.4 million my first year and over 2.3 million my second. My efforts as of December 31, 2016 has yielded 3.5 million dollars in work completed or in progress. I worked daily with the company owners to assist in achieving their goals of more profit, company growth and diversity into more site work capabilities. Often, I was tasked with handling successful bidding and completion of jobs that would have required the company owners attention had I not been on board. I analyzed company pricing, created and implemented a new pricing structure that could easily be followed by salespeople. This resulted in more consistent quotes. Until then, pricing varied from sales person to salesperson. It also kept the low profit, difficult jobs off the table. * 1980 - 2013 I owned and operated my own landscape maintenance design & Installation business.
