| After juggling marriage, children, working in construction, and
attending night school for about ten years, I earned a BA in
accounting from Loyola University. That’s when I moved out of the
field and into an office working for a mechanical construction firm
in Chicago. During the day, I handled accounting, estimating, project
management, contract administration, and claims analysis, while at
night I went back to school for my MBA. In 1992, I became owner of
Metropolitan Fire Protection, and finally was able to put all of that
experience and education to good use running a successful business.
It’s taken a lot of hard work and a lot of great people to get us where we
are today. Customers call me because they trust me to give honest, sound
advice and deliver what I promise. They know I understand that the most
important thing is protecting customers’ relationships with their clients
and making sure they meet their schedules and occupancy dates. We do
everything we can to come through for our customers. We put the best
people on the job and put in extra effort when it’s needed. To me, a perfect
job is when we go in, get it done, and get it done on time and on budget. |
