My Work History - At A Glance

• 1987 - 1991 After graduating High School I joined the US Navy and joined the SEABEES, The US Naval Construction Battalion.

" With Compassion for Others

We Build - We Fight

for Peace with Freedom."

I was attached to the First Naval Construction Division. NMCB. The First Naval Construction Division is the administrative and operational commands for six Naval Construction Regiments and two Seabee Readiness Groups, which encompass about 18,000 active duty and reserve Navy Seabees. These commands are responsible for Naval Mobile Construction Battalions, Construction Battalion Units, Underwater Construction Teams, Construction Battalion Maintenance Units and a Naval Construction Force Support Unit. Navy Seabees deploy around the world to provide construction support for U.S. forces as well as humanitarian assistance.

• 1992-1998 Sole Proprietor - Stewart Painting, LLC

As the construction was going on the Island, Bald Head Island, NC. There was a desperate need for a painting contractor, I had done a lot of painting while I was in the Navy and figured I could handle it. So away I went.

Projects that I took on were (but not limited to):

• Killegray Ridge (all 26 houses), Floras Bluff (all 32 units), BHI Villas (all 76 condos), BHI Fire Stations 1,2 & 3, BHI Marina Resturant, BHI Library, BHI Docks and Harbor Master Complex, BHI Construction Office, BHI Clubhouse.
• BHI Construction: Approx 80 Houses / Condos
• Palmetto Construction: Approx 30 Houses
• J.D. Beam Construction: Approx 10 Commercial Units
• Telesis Ventures: Approx 25 Houses
• Individual Repaints for Homeowners: Approx 15 Houses

In total, I along with my employees, painted the Interior & Exterior of approximately 160 properties during my time on Bald Head Island.

To the right are some pictures of some of the properties listed above. We also received a #1 job award from Southern Living Magazine for our work in Killegray Ridge in June of 1994.

• 1999-2001 Sole Proprietor - Stewart Painting. LLC

Worked exclusively for Kent Mitchell (CEO Bald Head Island Limited) under James Corrigan (Owner-Wrightsville Hardwoods) painting and re-painting Kent's personal houses and commercial properties located on Wrightsville Beach, Oak Island and Bald Head Island. During this period I was required to work alone for the most part.

• 2001-present Sole Proprietor - RoomPainter.Com© / Painting $100 Per Room©

Relocated to Raleigh to be closer to my Mother and Father who are retired and getting up there in age. I wanted my children to have a good, close relationship with them which was impossible living in Wilmington. Currently, I still work solo for the most part and enjoy the benefits of getting to know a lot of good people here in Raleigh.
