gross sales. During the era of growth and successful years of the construction industry, the company had a consistent gross sale of 20 million and higher. The Company acquired numerous contracts and built luxury homes in Tampa Bay areas with
successful and great customer satisfaction. As CEO of the Company, I manage and worked with great team of office

Sales Responsibility & Accountability: My knowledge in housing enables me to sell and close sales successfully. I can
easily envision my customers housing needs and turn them onto reality. I worked with each client on their needs. Meeting the demand of our client, I may need to overcome financial or product line obstacles. My responsibility was to overcome the
obstacles and produce a contract that will meet our profit margin goals.

work orders allows me to sell our homes (one hit wonder) or commercial mixed use projects at a fix price. Our contract for
the sale of a new home included everything from pools, stem wall, landscaping and fill. This Purchasing ability allows us to
provide a sales price vs. cost- plus contract. Our profit margins were not shared with our clients, this allowed us to achieve a
20% margins on our projects.

Construction: My responsibility encompasses the management and supervision of the construction managers and
superintendents in the field to ensure daily safety, quality control production, and aid construction manager in meeting
closing deadlines. Our company also incorporates pool constructions both in residential and commercial projects. Our
