Description
Jim was destined to be a contractor. He played for hours on end with Tonka toys and Nylint toys. Dozers, backhoes’, dump trucks, you name it plus Matchbox toys as well. He spent hours sitting and watching homes and other buildings being built in his South Milwaukee, WI neighborhood. He even cut studs and sheathing and rafters out of stiff paper and built little houses because that’s the way construction guys did it. By the late 1970’s, he worked for an excavator, a general contractor and mason contractor. Then in 1984 he started a one man contracting business in Northern Wisconsin, Wizco Construction LLC. He just didn’t want to work for someone. He did work for a couple contractors from 1986 to 1989 west of Chicago in DuPage County. He moved back to Wisconsin in 1989 with Luanne, whom he had married in 1983.
