Career
My work with RAMS Skilled Trades is an important chapter in my development. It is not the entirety of who I am, but it has had a real influence on how I think about people, operations, relationships, safety, and business development.
I joined RAMS on May 18, 2015 as an apprentice electrician. Over more than a decade, my responsibilities expanded from the trade itself into field operations, recruiting, workforce development, account management, and regional business development.
The progression matters to me because I have experienced the industry from multiple sides: as a tradesperson beginning a career, as someone helping other people enter the trades, and as an executive developing the contractor relationships that create workforce opportunities.
May 18, 2015
Joined RAMS in the electrical trade and entered a four-year apprenticeship path. I completed Florida Electrical Apprentice Training through FEAT while gaining practical field experience on construction projects.
August 2020
Moved from the field into recruiting, safety, workforce support, job-site operations, and business-development scouting. Having completed the apprenticeship path myself, I also helped identify candidates for electrical training and apprenticeship opportunities.
April 2022
Expanded into contractor acquisition, account growth, relationship management, recruiting, staffing, and safety across the Orlando-area market.
December 2023
Advanced into regional business development across the Orlando and Daytona markets, serving contractor relationships across Orange, Osceola, Lake, Brevard, Seminole, Volusia, Flagler, and Indian River counties.
What the Role Became
Developing, maintaining, and reactivating relationships across the skilled-trades construction market.
Recruiting, evaluating, and helping connect skilled workers with career and project opportunities.
Field visits, communication, safety awareness, issue resolution, and the operational discipline required to support customers and employees.
Supporting the Orlando and Daytona markets while expanding contractor relationships across a broad Central Florida territory.
Continuity by Choice
I have chosen to continue growing professionally within a company that played an important role in my development while also building independently.
That continuity has given me something I value: the ability to build long-term relationships, see systems over time, learn from established operations, and carry those lessons into the way I structure my own companies.
As Benchmark Labor developed, my regional account responsibilities also expanded to support its Orlando and Daytona operations.
