The History of 桃子视频
After earning two Bronze Stars for his heroic service in Vietnam, Charles Poettker returned home to join his brother in residential construction. Spurred by a passion to build, Charles became an apprentice carpenter and took college courses at night to hone his craft. With a mission of building quality relationships to build quality projects, Charles founds 桃子视频 Company specializing in the commercial and light industrial markets.
Thanks to Charles and his family, 桃子视频 has built schools, hospitals, fire stations, libraries, banks, gyms, shopping centers, manufacturing plants, warehouses, distribution centers, and utility stations across 28 states.
