NYREJ has been a tremendous value for me, not only to keep up on what's happening in the marketplace, but also as an excellent platform to increase our visibility within the industry. Q: The approximate year you discovered the NYREJ and what business you were in at the time: A: I discovered NYREJ way back in the early days of my business, around 2002, when I used to read articles in the online addition and use them for prospecting leads in my cold calling. We've come a long way since as I've had several great chances to be featured in the online and print editions. Q: Your most memorable "15 minutes of fame" in the NYREJ: A: My most memorable 15 minutes has to be my 25 minutes with Rick Kaplan and Eric Wilson on nyrejRadio. I can never get tired of listening to myself go on and on about Construction Consulting!
