Although working at Delta T Sales, Inc. still requires long days and nights, Paul mentioned, “It’s the best job I’ve ever had. I get the convenience of working from home while also getting out of the office to visit contractors.”

Since June of 2005, Paul has represented R-Plus Doors in Northern California.
