QUOTES:
“The 8-year war (in Iran) was rough, but it helped build my character.”
“Just because you have a big job, doesn’t mean they’re always profitable.”
“I enjoy helping people feel good about their homes.”
“You need to know how to build a business more than knowing how to sling a brush.”
“I would encourage all painters out there to reach out to other painting companies and contractors. You’d feel like they’re competitors, but they’re really not. We can all learn from each other, and there’s plenty of work out there.”
