"fng"


Good morning, I have been lingering around for a while and there seems to be quite a bit of knowledge and experience hear. So I thought I would finally introduce myself.
My name is Cory, i'm 27 and a project manager for a major civil contractor. I was born into the business and am very proud of that. I carry a great deal of passion for this business and all those that pursue it, in an honest fashion. I was raised in Michigan under the influences of my Uncles and Grandfather who in my eyes are the epidemy of the business, "the kind of guys who can sew a silk purse out of a hogs ear". My wife and I currently reside in Florida in hopes of returning to MI. "when" the economy turns. I have spent countless hours behind a shovel, in the seat, waist deep in s&*$ and etc. It has been my goal to diversify in this field as much as possible.
It's a pleasure to be here.
