[QUOTE="DAVESVT2000, post: 16194563, member: 3099"] Born and raised in central Mass about an hour west of Boston. Family business, grandfather had a small construction company doing site work - trucks, loaders, paving, utility work, etc. Grew up around equipment and hydraulics. In 1948 he bought a 150 acre farm for it materials - loam, sand, gravel and 20 years later the state builds two major highways right past his farm, and developers come along and purchase about 120 acres to build an enclosed shopping mall. He kept the other 30 acres that we still own to this day, and we lease most of it to a variety of tenants such as restaurants- Pizza Hut, McDonald’s, Taco Bell, Popeye’s, etc., medical, banking, a ten screen movie theater, gas station, etc. we have about 30 tenants. Many of these tenants we supply maintenance contracts for an additional fee, plowing and landscaping. This is where I come in, I do the day to day operations and make sure everything is running smoothly. I love it, every day is something different, I’m my own boss, set my own schedule, travel when I want. My dad passed away 3 years ago, we were really close, but there were no surprises and we had a good succession plan in place, and this past year 2018 was our best year ever in business for income and profit, and 2019 is looking even better. I think he and my grandfather would be happy :) [/QUOTE]
