I'm a Navy veteran from Kalamazoo, Michigan. Moved to North Idaho six years ago with my wife and five kids - currently building our own home in Samuels. I got into the trades because I like meeting new people, working with my hands, and there was a real need for it up here.

I've got an associate's degree in automotive technology and a bachelor's in math and engineering. That background means I think through problems, not just patch them. Whether it's a leaky faucet or a custom deck, I'd rather take the time to do it right than rush through and cut corners.

Every detail matters. That's what five years in the Navy taught me - discipline, reliability, and follow-through on every job.
