R.J. Winters has worked in the construction field for over thirty years. Starting with his father’s business in 1978, he has gone on to work for several construction companies as well as owning his own. In a constant state of construction educational classes, Winters has personally built homes where he’s acted as a general contractor and hired additional subcontractors, and one project where he performed all the work himself. After a disastrous experience with a builder who seemingly had a good reputation, he was motivated to educate others about the pitfalls of building practices. With an extensive background in all phases of construction, Winters has spent several years interviewing contractors, suppliers, and homeowners in an effort to compile the information necessary to put his book, Control Your Build, together.
