Deron’s background
Starting as a plumber, Deron has worked his way up through the ranks and is now one of our most seasoned veterans. He has successfully run many projects for CINFAB, including various medical centers and a large project for General Electric. His most recent successful job was the Cincinnati Union Terminal Renovation project. This renovation was extremely challenging due to the nature of the renovation and the fact that the building was kept open to the public. He was the perfect Foreman for the job, and he ran it flawlessly.
Deron has taken many various training programs over his years with CINFAB, including numerous Supervisory Training Programs (S.T.P.). He also has his OSHA 30, his CPR certification, and a Bloodborne Pathogen certification. Deron has also taken Lift and Lull training.
