With over 13 years of work experience in the construction and storage industry, I am a licensed carpenter and a storage expert who is passionate about creating innovative and customized solutions for my clients. As the president of Longyards Storage, a storage provider that combines traditional storage needs with a new trend of storage yards, I lead a team of professionals who are committed to delivering high-quality service, security, and convenience. I value collaboration, creativity, and customer satisfaction, and I strive to bring diverse perspectives and experiences to the industry. At Longyards Storage, I oversee the operations, marketing, and sales of the company, as well as the development and implementation of new products and services. I have successfully expanded the company's offerings to include exterior storage yards that are equipped with various options, such as sea can containers, power outlets, micro offices, and live Wi-Fi streaming. These storage yards are designed to meet the specific needs of different businesses, such as contractors, landscapers, and retailers. I have also ensured that the storage yards are secure, private, and well-maintained, with features such as 30' gates, 6' high fencing, 6" crush stone, and a full-time caretaker. Through my project planning, renovation, and construction skills, I have enhanced the quality and value of the storage yards, and increased the customer retention and satisfaction rate.
