Becoming a Custom Home Builder

 Building has always been in my blood. As a kid, I was always building forts, treehouses, anything I could. By age 10, I built my first log cabin by hand with just a hatchet. I didn’t know where it would lead, but I knew I wanted to be part of the construction world. My first jobs were on dirt crews, moving bulldozers and excavators. By 20, I was supervising the construction of apartment complexes and homes under another company. But I knew I had to follow my own path.

 In 2010, after years of hard work, I made the leap and started my own business. For over 15 years, I’ve been turning my clients’ dreams into reality, building and remodeling homes. I’m still that young boy at heart, but with much more experience and many more homes built. Every project is a chance to create something unique and lasting. I am deeply grateful for this journey, and I look forward to each new build with pride and passion.
