Owner, Principle
Household Heroes Associated Services
Oct 2005 - Aug 2009 (3 years 10 months)
Design and construction services. I finished and designed woodwork, wall textures and some paint effects. We also designed and built custom cabinets and millwork as well as general home repairs and remodels. I sold, sourced, project managed, hired, fired, invoiced, ordered, supplied, delivered, built, repaired, moved, heard complaints, problem solved and sometimes even 'played therapist.' In other words, I did everything. I am great with people and with time management as a result. Running this company was the most influential and educational job experience I have had thus far. Ask me about it.
