| Introduction | I’m passionate about estimating and have worked in the commercial electrical construction industry for over 30 years. I once owned an estimating company called TakeOff16, a firm which specialized in estimating electrical and low voltage signal & communications systems for large commercial and industrial construction projects. I was also a staff writer with Electrical Contractor Magazine, writing their monthly Estimating column along with various feature articles. I am currently an independent consultant/writer/trainer. I am now focused on writing about estimating. |
| Interests | Terry Shook, music, playing music, art, travel, hiking, bird watching, dogs (not cats), the art of Estimating. Figuring it all out. |
| Favorite movies | Lawrence of Arabia, Jaws, Bottlerocket, Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums,The Djarling Express, The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, Moonrise Kingdom. |
| Favorite music | Unlike movies, this is an impossible topic for me to address. I do not believe there would be enough space to input all of my favorites or even some. Music is so subjective to the moment. |
| Favorite books | Any Tom Robbins book, any Hunter S. Thompson, Melville's Typee and Omoo, Heart of Darkness, Peace Like a River, Boomers (find it, read it), P.J. O'Rourke and others I can't recall. |
