Travis De Fontenay
Summary
Over the past eight years, I've worked as the Second-in-Charge and Lead Carpenter for a residential builder, managing multiple projects at one time (3–4 concurrently) while remaining hands-on with the tools. My responsibilities include coordinating subcontractors, scheduling, ordering materials and ensuring all team members — including myself — stay accountable, productive, and on track to deliver high-quality work on time and within budget. I take pride in maintaining efficiency, fostering strong site culture, and driving projects to successful completion
