Summers while I was in college were spent building concrete forms in the southerntier of Western New York.  I worked for a company called Hadley and Sons Construction.  The 80’s were a difficult time for work and after dropping out of college after almost three years, I did a tour of odd jobs including fast food, door-to-door sales, and even loading docks.  Eventually, fate put me back into remodeling as a carpenters helper.

In 1989 I started a handyman service that eventually became Apollo Construction, a residential and light-commercial remodeling company.  Over the next ten years I experienced both the joys and the pains of growth.  I found myself saying what most of us have said at one time or another, “I have no trouble finding the jobs, I just can’t seem to find the quality employees to get it done!”

In 1998 I opened Construction Personnel Group, Inc.  Our first office was in Cheektowaga on Genesee street.   I believed then, as I do now that we could affect positive change in the construction industry.

I met Jenny in 2001.  Soon after she came to work with us.  And even after working with me, I still managed to convince her to marry me.  These days, when she is not mothering our two girls, you’ll find her at the office – making sure we cross our “t’s” and dot our “i’s”.

As a hobby I dabble in real estate.  My buildings are my canvas.   In another life I might have been a starving artist.  I can admit that I tend to go overboard, but the trade-off is that I now have some great pieces that hopefully will pay for my kids education.

I love what we do. I look forward to working with you.
