Thanksgiving Is A Time - To give thanks for all that we have and for the men and women who are part of the greatest industry on earth, Construction. You make civilization possible for everyone!

Construction is the oldest industry in existence. Everything started with The Builder, and He had a Son, who was a carpenter, and everyone who was, is and will be part of the construction industry has a special connection to The Builder and His Son.

Construction Gets Deep - Inside you and will not let go, and that is why Sharie and I co-founded Business Consulting And Accounting to keep being involved in the construction industry and spend time with the people we love, admire and respect.

Construction is a tough business and people failure is common. In fact, most of our clients have either failed or come very close. It doesn't matter how many times you are knocked down; it only matters that you learn your lessons, get up and go again.

A lot of attention has been focused on companies that have achieved a level of success, and it is important to recognize and thank all of the men and women who serve everyone with their commitment to be a part of the construction industry.

Construction is what makes civilization and a civilized society possible. It is because of their commitment to step out of their comfort zone to start, own and operate construction businesses that we owe an enormous debt of gratitude.

I Thank God for having grown up in a family that was involved in construction which meant there were plenty of opportunities to help after school. There was never any pressure, and it was not something that I had to do; I just felt it was important to do my fair share to help, and yes I was paid about what results I provided.

Shortly after High School I was blessed to have married my high school sweetheart, Sharie, and here we are fourty+ years later still on our honeymoon, life is good!

I had decided to leave construction forever and join the white collar world. My college major was Accounting and after working in an accounting position for a short time, I decided to go back to construction. I served a Plumbing Apprenticeship; passed the Washington State Journeyman Master Plumbers Exam and became a PL01 in 1981.

I Still Maintain - Journeyman Plumber PL01 status by keeping up with the continuing education credits, re-testing and re-certifying because once in a while I do a little plumbing, just for fun.

Every Thanksgiving Holiday I ask that we all offer a word of thanks for all the men and women who have chosen to be a part of the greatest industry in the world, construction.
