Fellow Members of the NAMC, Greetings:
The NAMC has reached another milestone in its history and it is my distinguished pleasure to take on its responsibilities as your new president. Looking to the future, we have to focus on our past. NAMC was formed to help our individual members gain additional opportunities for more work. More work creates growth and a better future for each member. Given these hard economic times, the relevance of our organization remains rooted in working to help each member.
"Let's open doors together™"
As the new president of NAMC, I will dedicate myself to helping our membership open doors for new opportunities. These opportunities could be working with more government projects, more sub-contracting with the major contractors, more jobs working directly with large corporations that support the diversity agenda as well as discovering new opportunities by working better together.
My Profile
I am the Owner and president of Grand Development and Grand Building Supply LLC. I obtained a BA Degree in Economics in 1981 and an MBA in 1984. I have over twenty-five years of management and financial experience. I have also served as Vice President and President, respectively, of the NAMC Upper Midwest Chapter for five years. Until my recent election as President, I served on the National Board as the Sergeant at arms.
My Vision
