@Christian Rodriguez Happy to connect with others from Long Island, I currently live in Brooklyn and work in Jericho, NY.

Hello, I am Randy Ivey, I live east of Conroe, Tx. .

My son lives in Davis County and has his own personal window company and 12 houses worth $500,000  in great neighborhoods. 

I can totally live with these numbers.

Both in our business lives as well as personal.
