Hi!

 

Thank you for your interest in our website.  My name is David Alexander, and I reside in the small Southern Arkansas town of Camden along with my wife, Darline and our two daughters who are presently in college.

 

My background is in the ready mix and aggregate businesses.  My family operated ready mix plants in Southern Arkansas and Northern Louisiana for 29 years until we sold out in 1998 to a larger company.  During our ready mix days, we were Kraft dealers and, since the new owners weren’t interested in selling concrete tools, I retained the Kraft distributorship and continue to supply our local concrete contractors with tools while I also work in our family’s aggregate business.

 

During my concrete days, I was active in our state’s concrete association and served on its board for 9 years and also served two terms as president of the association.  Along the way, I became an ACI Certified Concrete Technician and an Arkansas Highway Department Materials Technician.  Because it fell to me to investigate concrete problems for our family business, I also took a number of concrete troubleshooting courses.  Even though I’m not directly in the concrete business anymore, some of our aggregate customers call on me to help them troubleshoot concrete problems, and I still consult with other people from time to time about various concrete problems that sometimes occur. 

 

During my concrete years, I also took an active interest in the many things that can be done with concrete and built my home in 1990 with concrete tilt-up panels.  I also installed about 9000 square feet of pattern stamped concrete for my driveway/parking area.  I’ve also done a few projects that involved a thin overlay to create faux brick patterns over existing concrete.

 

            Over the years, I’ve had many friends who were concrete contractors and have a great deal of respect for people in that difficult, work-intensive profession.  I’ve taken a great deal of satisfaction in finding tools and ways to make their job easier.  In the same way, I hope that I can also help you to find quality tools to make your job a little easier and to save you some money along the way.
