Starting out in the construction business, who or what empowered you?
I started out in the construction business over 30 years ago working with my husband in his family construction business. Over the years he empowered me to seek new opportunities and to cultivate new business ideas. I decided to open the Neureise Group Inc. fabrication shop because I saw an opportunity to service a new and different group of clients.
