Mike Dayton, Service Team Coordinator
Mike's career in the construction industry began in 2010 when he started as a laborer. This role provided him with a firm foundation in the practical aspects of construction work, allowing him to gain invaluable hands-on experience. Over the years, Mike's dedication and hard work paid off as he climbed the ranks to become a project coordinator. After six successful years on this career path, Mike ventured into a new area within the industry by joining a company specializing in spray foam insulation after a couple years there he eventually left to return back to the construction industry. Starting once more as a labourer, Mike quickly demonstrated his skills and expertise, which led to his current position as a service coordinator. Mike's journey through the construction industry highlights his adaptability, persistence, and relentless pursuit of professional growth and job satisfaction.
