Overview:
I am a Colorado Native of 48 yrs, I graduated from East High School, class of 1973. The classes of 73-74 had graduates such as Philip Bailey from the group Earth Wind & Fire. We also had Joe Barry Carroll who entered the NBA in the 1977-78 season after playing for the Purdue Boilermakers and was the NBA #1 pick in the draft by the Golden State Warriors. The following summer of 1974 I started driving a delivery truck for Kwall Paint Store on South Broadway & Alameda. From time to time painting contractors would ask me if I knew of any painters looking for work; my answer was always, "No." One Friday afternoon I was delivering painting supplies to a painter who was in his late 60's. He asked me: "How much money are you making driving that delivery truck?" I answered, "$4.30 an hour." He then said if you start working for me I will pay you $8.00 an hour and teach you how to paint (I then gave my 2 week notice at the paint store) and that's how my career as a painter started. My first day on the job was painting a 200 ft radio tower in the middle of nowhere. Actually back in the 70's that tower was close to Boulder. Learning from an "Old-Timer" my knowledge advanced very quickly. In the years to come I worked for the top paint companies in the Metro Denver Area non-union & union, companies such as: Lundquist Painting, Taylor Painting, Brown Brothers, Denver Housing Authority, and University Hospital. In the early 1990's my wife, Shelley, persuaded me to start my own business... | |
