Our HistoryPerhaps, at 28 years of age, I was too young (and foolish) to consider the financial and emotional risks of leaving a secure career at a reputable firm to start a construction company.However, I believed if I focused on my clients desires with honesty, dedication, and determination, my business would be a success.~Bill Regali, Founder ASG
