September 2009       Sojourner’s Care Network, McArthur, Ohio
September 2011      Vocational Trainer
(www.sojournerscare.net)
Primarily responsible for teaching vocational skills to disadvantaged youth.  The skills taught to students included various construction techniques, real work experiences such as productivity, safety, and ethical decision making.  I was also responsible for creating and maintaining various tracking spreadsheets and databases, as well as billing Medicaid for teaching vocational and independent living skills to the students.  This position was by far the most rewarding of all, because I was actually able to pass along the vast knowledge of construction skills that I had acquired over the years to others, giving them a step ahead in finding employment.

January 2009-         Holley’s Home Improvement, McArthur,Ohio
September 2009    Owner
(www.holleyshomeimprovement.com)
During my entire career I have constantly used my construction experience to help all of my friends and neighbors construct everything from decks to complete homes, so when work with All-Pro Building Services slowed down, it was a natural transition to begin taking on customers of my own.  Holley’s Home Improvement does everything from plumbing, electric, foundations to trim and everything in between.

January 2004-          Ohio Web Designs, McArthur, Ohio
Present                       Owner
(www.ohiowebdesigns.com)
I began an interest in Web Design and Information Technology as a hobby, however I enjoyed it so much that it quickly became a “side job”. I was amazed that I began creating an income from something that I enjoyed doing. I have done numerous computer repairs and upgrades. I currently host and maintain over 30 Websites. This desire to learn more in this field and my “natural ability” to perform this type of work is what drove me to take formal training and obtain my Certificate and A.A.S in Information Technology.

January 2006-        All Pro Building Services, Albany,Ohio
January 2009         Project Manager
(www.allprobuilding.com)
All-Pro Building Services is a general contractor that specializes in residential remodeling and construction. I am responsible for coordinating all project/building activities, including labor, material and equipment procurement, scheduling and bringing the project within the allotted budget. Maintaining an excellent relationship with customers, employees, management, and inspectors is also an ability that I am very proud of.

August 1986 –          AKM Building Systems,Chillicothe,Ohio
January 2004           Project Manager
(www.akmbuilding.com)
AKM Building Systems was a general contractor that specialized in commercial and industrial building construction. I began with this company as a general laborer, after several years and several pay raises I found myself “leap frogging” over my leaders and was put in charge of handling all field related activities, including directing employees, subcontractors, and suppliers. Several of the projects I was responsible were in or above the million dollar range. After several more years, I moved to an office position as a Project Manager where I was ultimately in charge of several projects at once.
