I owned a farm market which required working seven days a week from 4 a.m., to 8 p.m., so long hours was learned a long time ago. My real estate and construction career continued in Los Angeles working for a large real estate development and management firm and then to a five year rise through the ranks of building superintendent to director of Property Management for Eagan Real Estate. My entrepreneurial spirit took me out on my own in June 1988.
