Summary

Very passionate about stone walling and building with all sorts of Maine or New England stone materials. Currently working on advancing in my stone leveling at the stone trust as teaching for them at the opus-40 site in New York. Definitely looking to settle down with a good company with benefits in my later years in stone work. I have many years in masonry and stone work since the beginning summer of 2002 working stone up in the lakes area of sebago and Bridgton.
