During my "professional carrier" have worn many hats ranging from the construction trades to sales. During the late 1990's I joined up with my brother and grew a landscaping business. Around 2003 I began to hone my skill set in to real estate and construction. After leaving landscaping I set out to obtain the licenses that I would need to move forward. Having obtained my real estate brokerage license and my unlimited general contractor license I opened up two new businesses, Carolina Mountain Realty & Development and Blue Ridge Homes.

By 2007 we were building 6 to 7 spec homes a year and business was brisk. Needless to say we know how this story goes... the recession stepped in and what I worked to build over 5 or 6 years vaporized in matter of months. However, I considered myself fortunate not to have lost everything. Thankfully, I was able to parlay my skill set into condominium association management where I have been the past three years.

Now it’s 2012 and the property management is going gangbusters, but I am trying my hand at yet another entrepreneurial venture, HOAConnections. Over all these businesses the one thing I could do and do well was program and establishes web presence for my businesses. So, here I am sharing with you my experience and experiences and hoping that 2012 brings another fruitful turn in my professional life.
