Over the years, I have been fortunate to receive awards and professional recognition. These matter because they reflect the trust schools, parks departments, and community groups place in both me and Bliss Products and Services. The standard stays the same: do the job right, support the community, and deliver results that hold up in daily use.

Approvals move faster when documentation is clean and consistent. With support from the designers, engineers, and installers at Bliss Products and Services, local teams are guided from early project scoping through closeout with clear specifications, drawings, schedules, and submittals that fit Southwest Florida conditions.

This page is a quick overview of clients and credentials: short client notes that can be shared, a few recognition highlights, and the training and credentials kept current.

Most projects involve parks departments, school facilities, and neighborhood associations, but any local group or indivdual can start the conversation. Review teams typically look for clear plan views, inclusive product choices, durable materials, reliable coordination, and submittals that are easy to approve.

“Jim made a complex park upgrade feel simple. He laid out clear choices, kept pricing transparent, and delivered exactly what we approved on the timeline we set.”

“Submittals, specs, and procurement steps were handled quickly and cleanly with Bliss Products and Services. Our council sign-off was the smoothest it has been in years.”

“He knows the Gulf climate. Jim guided us to materials that handle salt air and heavy sun, and our maintenance team has had very little to worry about.”

“Jim phased the work around our school calendar and kept safety front and center. Students were back on new equipment the week we planned, with no surprises.”

“Communication was excellent from kickoff to closeout. Jim coordinated installers, checked site details in person, and resolved small items before they became issues.”

“Shade placement, surfacing, and access were thought through for families and ADA needs. Jim’s plan reads like a roadmap our staff can maintain for years.”
