Long before I picked up a hammer & saw in 2005 as a carpenter’s apprentice, the seed for building homes was planted by, of all things, watching episodes of “This Old House”. It was then that I knew that I needed to be a part of transforming and making new spaces for people who would enjoy and appreciate them. Over time, that seed received nurturing through encouragement, advice, employment, and mentorship—some of whom continue to support me to this day, for which I am deeply grateful. Over the past 20+ years, I have gained a wealth of experience and knowledge, from carpentry and countertop manufacturing to landscaping, project management, architectural design, even railroad signal engineering. Through it all, I have committed myself to the pursuit of excellence, as I believe excellence is more efficacious than perfection. Since no one can truly claim perfection, I seek for excellence in treating people with grace, in designing with understanding, and in partnering with craftsmen-women who share a dedication to excellence in their work. This commitment to excellence is how we achieve fine design and craftsmanship.
