About Me

rebuilding towns after disaster strikes

My name is Dan McCormic. Welcome to my blog. Having lived in the mid-west for my entire life, I have seen what nature can do to a town. I have witnessed tornadoes and thunderstorms that have completely devastated entire towns. Not only have I been fortunate to live through these disasters, but I have also been very fortunate to assist in the rebuilding of some very historical towns. Working with damage contractors and volunteers has taught me a lot over the years. I have learned how to restore buildings that looked as though they were a total loss and repair damage that seems minor.
