Who is Victor, really?

So, you know the basics, but let’s learn more about who Victor really is.

Q: How many cups of coffee do you drink per day?
A: It just takes one to get me going in the morning.

Q: What is something – outside of work – that you are extremely passionate about?
A: We love spending time with our grandchildren. From camping and fishing, to taking out the ATVs for a ride, Kathy and I enjoy spending time with our family in the outdoors.

Q: Who’s your favorite superhero?
A: Zig Ziglar

Q: Tell us about a person or situation that has had a significant impact on your life.
A: When I was in high school I worked for a service station. The owner treated me like a son and taught me a lot about business. He is the one who gave me the inspiration to start my own business.

Q: What energizes you to head to work each day?
A: There’s always productive work to be done; everyday brings something new. I am most energized by taking on new challenges and creating or improving processes to overcome those challenges.

    When Victor came to look at the problem I was having with water soaking up on my wood sub floor around the interior foundation, he knew right what needed to be done. I had others look at the problem and they were well we need to uncover it and see what the problem is, Victor knew right what the problem was a how to solve it so that I can finish my basement.
