By Maui Now Staff

Andrew Keenan is on a mission to help people in construction trades manage their own crews and run their own businesses.

Keenan knows the hurdles–he is a building contractor, and a licensed swimming pool, excavation and septic contractor.

Now he wants to help others achieve this level of professionalism.

Keenan will instruct the upcoming “Becoming a General Contractor” training course through the Sustainable Living Institute of Maui at UH Maui College. The training will cover attaining a contractor’s license, finding clients, bidding construction jobs, managing them and finishing the job to the customer’s satisfaction.

Tuesday nights from Feb. 10 to March 10, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m., Keenan will take participants through these processes step-by-step.

Keenan has been a licensed contractor on Maui for 14 years. He has a degree in civil engineering from the University of Colorado.
