About Me
I am a 3rd generation carpenter, my grandfather was a cabinetmaker and my father a finishing contractor. From a young age I learned woodworking and all aspects of the interior finishing trade. When I decided to strike out on my own I began my professional life as a machinist, a skill I practiced for over 20 years. A successful journeyman machinist must have a natural mechanical aptitude, the ability to deliver exact precision products and work with a wide variety of different materials and hands-on problems solving abilities.
The Aha Moment
I purchased a fixer upper home. The days I spent working with my father and grandfather prepared me for the challenge of completely remodeling my home and found I loved it. Home improvement and repair became more than a hobby, it became my passion. As a journeyman machinist the skills I developed are invaluable when doing quality home remodeling and repair. I had found a new professional calling. I have a natural ability to fix, repair or remodel and I love doing it. The skills I acquired from working with my father and grandfather came rushing back to me.
Change in Professions
I already had a solid working knowledge of interior carpentry but I wanted to learn more. I started taking online classes, reading books and watching online how-to videos then applying what I learned working on my own house. Friends seeing my work would hire me to work on their homes. I would then be referred to their friends and neighbors. I realized there was a need for a skilled and affordable craftsman.

My customers will attest to my ability to deliver the highest quality work on time and on budget. My prices are fair for the quality of work I provide.
