Our company has been family owned and operated since my father started his roofing and construction business in 1964. After getting out of the Army I began working with him. Years later, he retired and I was joined by my sons. In the late 1980's we tried our hand in the city. My son Brian and I worked in New York for Morse Diesel. I worked as a Project Engineer and he as a Union Carpenter. We worked on the Philip Morris Building and the Staten Island Mall. After a couple of years the decision was made we would move to Florida with our children and take our family business with us.
