Hello From GA


Hey my name is Jonathan. I'm 18, and I'm from Cartersville, GA. A little bit about myself...I come from a whole line of GC's and Carpenter's, so I've been around the industry growing up. When I was 14, I started helping my Dad frame his spec's and renovate his rental properties that he kept during the summer's. When I was 16, I got on with a local Remodeling Contractor and worked with him for almost two years part-time when I wasn't playing football.

Now, I just recently acquired a business license, got insured, and opened up my own landscaping business. I also do light renovation work, mostly hanging and finishing drywall, but I'm limited to $2,500, so I don't get much business in that category. Not to mention I'm 18, not many people want an 18 year old messing with their house . I'm starting Georgia Tech in January for my MS in Building Contruction, then I'll be ready for my GC title.

I don't think it's too bad for somebody straight out of high school, but what do I know?
