Bump. I left my position with Rexel. I am now a Project Manager with CIR Electric Construction. My last gig was pretty great but this is way more hands on and there is a lot more opportunity in my future. I got tossed right in and am starting with a 6 story hotel in the Falls. I also am doing the home inspection thing so my schedule got quite busy quite quickly. ---

Done with full time residential remodeling sales, mostly. Things went sour with my one of my previous employers and don’t like playing the game when the rules are changed after the cards are dealt. Schuster Construction was good people but just didn’t have the clients to allow me to make a reasonable living. Started yesterday as the new production manager with a company I used to work for over 20 years ago. **BGI Millwork** based in Lackawanna near the base of Rt 5 and Ridge Rd. Full service millwork fabrication company producing casework, reception desks, conference tables, countertops, interior architectural trim / details, including installation. Work produced for projects all over the country, and lately more local projects as well. Notably 716, BNIA, Bills, Sabres, Sear Restaurant, and New Era. Some occasional high end residential projects but mostly commercial. Company is expanding and currently constructing a sizable addition for office staff and production. I’m still doing residential sales on a limited part time basis. Maybe some side work, time permitting. ![http://bnwordpress.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/7/2014/11/576530-HarborCenter-GEE32.jpg](http://bnwordpress.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/7/2014/11/576530-HarborCenter-GEE32.jpg) ![https://www.buffalorising.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/IMG_8202.jpg](https://www.buffalorising.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/IMG_8202.jpg) ![http://retaildesignblog.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/New-Era-flagship-store-Tokyo-04.jpg](http://retaildesignblog.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/New-Era-flagship-store-Tokyo-04.jpg) ![http://fkn-famous.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/new-era-tokyo-store-6.jpg](http://fkn-famous.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/new-era-tokyo-store-6.jpg) ---

Been a while since I’ve been somewhat active on here. New gig seems to have taken over, not to mention Barricuda web filiter :tdown: Anyways, I’ve recently just a hit a year at Evans Bank working in the insurance department. I started out as a small business placement specialist and have recently been moved up to mid market, which essentially means I work on premiums between $10-100k for businesses and property insurance. We specialize in some Commercial Real Estate buildings, so I work on a lot of large buildings. I still dabble in the home and auto, but the issue is I saved so many people money on their insurance at my last agency, I can’t beat their current price! :ham: - - - Updated - - - > [@tpgsr](#): > > Bump. > I left my position with Rexel. > I am now a Project Manager with CIR Electric Construction.
