Summary
Started painting my sophomore year of high school, working weekends and summers for a family painting company. Eventually grew my skills to be able to lead a crew for a bigger company. I have always enjoyed painting. From turning a ragged exterior into a beautiful new looking home to new construction and watching a project unfold into something complete. I have general contractors that are willing to supply me with work once i become licensed.
Very excited to get my business up and running.
