In this edition of the TB Profile, we introduce you to Chris Rubino, who joined Thompson Burton in 2015 and specializes in commercial real estate. When did you know you wanted to be a lawyer?

The TB Construction Crew did an amazing job Sunday despite the rain. It was a great volunteer opportunity. We arrived at 7 am and worked until about 11:30am before it rained us out. However, during that short time, we installed roof trusses and braced them with hurricane ties, finished the housewrap and installed windows. Not bad for a half day’s work. We met with Jazmyn, a wonderful young woman who is excited to finally own a home for her and her son. Thanks to everyone those for a great team effort! See all the photos
