    The Inventor Lady interviewing inventor Derry Griffin

    Bio: Derry Griffin, a successful contractor for more than 25 years, has hands on experience in all aspects of the construction business.

    Over the years he has realized that there are a lack of products that provide contractors’ support and organization during basic construction processes. Since necessity is the mother of invention, he has created and implemented many items that facilitate more efficient and effective working methods promoting solid, quality handiwork, which ultimately increases job profitability.

    His goal is to alleviate basic frustrations all contractors experience by sharing his knowledge and products.

    Questions:

    1.  Derry, what have you invented?

    2.  Do you think of yourself as an inventor?

    3.  Tell us a little about your products.

    4.  What advice do you have for other new inventors?
