Summary

I grew up working in my grandfather's True Value hardware store where I developed a wide variety of skills at a young age. My first carpentry job was in Lake Tahoe where I framed houses for three years. I have always been ahighly adaptable and versatile employee with extensive experience and an open mind to continue learning the trades. My work ethic is rooted in intregirty, punctuality, organization, problem-solving, and professionalism. I have almost 20 years of expertise in carpentry, with a strong reputation and satisfied, loyal client base. Comfortable leading small crews or managing projects and subcontractors independently.

I was originally hired to do structural upgrades to attics before the panels could be installed. I also helped design and build their new offices in Washougal. After the completion of that job I was asked to become an installer where I learned how build, install, and wire up entire residential and commercial solar systems.

I worked and trained alongside Mike Shively for five years remodeling homes in the Portland area. The vast variety of jobs helped me hone my skills in everything from demo to finish carpentry.
