Born into a construction family, my passion for building developed from an early age as I grew up surrounded by the industry that would shape my life. Construction was never just a job—it was the only pursuit I ever truly wanted, fueling my commitment and defining my professional journey. I entered the renovation and restoration world at sixteen, starting out as a laborer. The years that followed were marked by dedication and growth; I gradually advanced through every role, gaining invaluable experience and insight along the way. In 2004, I realized a long-held dream by founding my own company, Edras Group Corp. Balancing the demands of business ownership, I also put myself through college, earning a bachelor’s degree in architecture from the New Jersey Institute of Technology. As founder and president of Edras Group, I led my team in New York City, completing over 1,000 successful projects and building a reputation for quality and reliability until 2020.The pandemic prompted a pivotal change. I relocated from New York City and launched a new venture, Renovo NJ Corp, focusing solely on projects in New Jersey. Today, Renovo NJ Corp continues my legacy of excellence in local renovation and restoration, driven by the same values that inspired my earliest days in construction.
