Inviting all my friends in the four state area to visit me at Ridout Lumber
 for any building or construction needs.
 
Let my experience help you from start to finish
with all your building or home design projects

 

Greetings,  my name is Troy Bailey French.  I was born and raised in Joplin, Missouri.  I attended school in Neosho, Missouri.  In high school I acquired a passion for knowledge in music, law, political science, sociology, and of course history.  All of the aforementioned has to be credited to great teachers.  I attended Crowder College with a focus on history and political science.  I cut my collegiate studies prematurely due to policies within my career, at the time.  I have been in the building materials industry and  management for many years

 

 

 

   I still have a goal to complete my college studies, I just haven’t set a time yet.  I have transferred with a company and I have started at the bottom and worked my way to the top.  I would say that I am a quick learner and that I like to learn systems then analyze them and eventually make them my own.  I am somewhat of a perfectionist and I hate procrastination.  I am somewhat meticulous.

 

 

 

Years of experience have taught me how to identify and satisfy the needs of my customers.  Those same years have taught me how to communicate and relate to my vendors to provide the quickest possible delivery, the lowest over all cost,  and the best possible  service from my customers.

 

 

 

 

   Sincerely

 

 

 

  Troy French
