My journey in the construction industry began with a passion for creating and building things that last. Starting as a hands-on worker on construction sites, I’ve grown into my role as President of R&J Construction Services, a company committed to delivering quality, innovation, and excellence. It wasn’t always easy, but each challenge helped shape my path and sharpen my skills. At R&J Construction Services, we specialize in both residential and commercial projects, ranging from home remodels to large-scale builds. Recently, we’ve focused on sustainable, energy-efficient techniques, with Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF) being one of the key technologies we use. ICF has transformed our projects, enhancing energy efficiency and building durability. Beyond the field, I’ve developed a deep understanding of the business side of construction. Managing projects, overseeing budgets, coordinating teams, and ensuring client satisfaction are just a few responsibilities that have honed my expertise. My career has also taken me to diverse locations, including Brazil, Nevada, Louisiana, and Nebraska, where I learned how to adapt to various construction standards and practices. Over the years, I’ve gained invaluable knowledge and experience in construction, project management, and profit optimization. Now, I want to share that knowledge with others. Through my Minnect account, I provide insights into the techniques and strategies that have contributed to the success of R&J Construction Services. From construction fundamentals to advanced project management and the latest building technologies, my goal is to help others refine their skills and achieve success. I’m passionate about passing on what I’ve learned because I know the value of having the right guidance. My hope is to help others avoid the trial-and-error learning process and gain practical advice, whether they’re new to construction or experienced professionals. Personally, I believe in a balanced life. While construction is my passion, I prioritize family time and personal interests. I’m a proud husband and father of four, and when I’m not working, I enjoy outdoor activities, engaging in church events, and making memories with my kids. Ultimately, I want to leave a legacy in the construction industry that goes beyond the buildings I’ve helped create. I aim to build a foundation of knowledge and expertise that will benefit the next generation of builders, project managers, and entrepreneurs. Through Minnect, I’m offering the information I’ve worked hard to accumulate so that others can build their own success upon it. If you’re passionate about construction, looking for advice on navigating the industry’s complexities, or interested in learning about sustainable building practices, I’m here to help. Let’s build something great—together.
