Founder
Consumer Protection and Recourse
(Investment Management industry)
July 2008 — Present (1 year 1 month)
CPR is a National program design to overhaul the way the Home Improvement Industry conducts business in America. In most states virtually anyone who can pass a written test that only refers to state consumer law can get a license. That concept is akin to taking the written part of your driving test and no road test. There are many very good qualified contractors, but conversely there are more substandard. This dilemma hurts everyone.
