Sfire:I have had a 33-year career in our family-owned Real-Estate Development business. Since I was 16 years old, I have held virtually every possible role in our family companies. My initial offering to the company was running our construction arm, named Fidelity Construction Co. Inc. In my years running the construction arm of our business, we completed hundreds of projects, from one-room remodels to 450,000-square-foot shopping centers built from the ground up. It has been an incredible journey that now has me leading all 18 companies and managing the family’s 1.8 million-square-foot real-estate portfolio as President/COO. Thankfully, God has blessed our family and business at levels that I never dreamed possible.Connect:Website www.fgltd.netLinkedIn linkedin.com/in/jason-sfire-a6652716b/Instagram instagram.com/jaswheels/?hl=enThis episode is brought to you by Great Lakes Adaptive Sports Association; empowering people with disabilities through adaptive outdoor recreation.
