Later he became a partner in The Metal Works Company. In 1993 he became sole owner of The Metal Works, Inc. He has gained the reputation in the industry as the go to guy when the project seems impossible. He is married to Brenda, his high school sweetheart, and they have one son, Neil, who is also in the business.

Neil  grew up working in the shop learning from some really talented people.  He worked during school breaks organizing steel racks and serving as an extra pair of hands where ever needed including even running crews. He is a Clemson University Graduate with degrees in Business and Animal Sciences.  He is married to his college sweetheart and has two sons. He is our General Contractor, Our In-house Trainor, Our Certified Crane Operator and Field Expert when it comes to getting the steel in the air or in the Building.
