About Us

At this point in my life, just after high school, dad had started a bagel business, and I ran that for several years while attending Orange County Community College for business management. I fixed up a camper that I picked up for $50, and set up fundraisers, and with dads Cummins turbo diesel Ram truck my friend and I went on a road trip across country. I was all set to complete a Bachelors of Science in Business Management at Potsdam State University but on the way back from the cross country trip I changed my major to civil engineering. 4 years later I obtained a bachelors of science in civil engineering, with the structural focus from Clarkson University.

After being cooped up and doing nothing but reading books and studying, I just wanted to enjoy myself for some time and I moved Burlington Vermont. While in burlington I worked as a carpenter for several years, and loved windsurfing, snowmobiling, and snowboarding. Just had a great time. It was probably 20 below zero that day as work was drying up in December or January, when I called my brother and asked if he had any work. He had said you better get your butt back home and start your career before you waste the education! And so I made the call to a company whereupon I had interned and had 7 days to make a decision so I move back to the Orange County area and started my career in civil engineering. For 6 years I worked as a civil engineer. Ultimately I was a senior engineer for the Orange County Department of Public Works for a short while and acquired about 6 rental properties during that time, Of which I remodeled.
