Basically anything outdoors is where i am. Im usually building something in my workshop., I'm an avid woodsman, ride motorcross, and do a lot of fishing and hunting., Enjoy all sports and enjoy playing when can., Was an all KIL football player in high school.

Summary of experience

I know all aspects of construction. Not to say i know everything because i believe no matter how much one knows there is always something else to learn, although I have a complete understanding of construction and small business practices. I have done every job in residential construction and posses high quality skills. I see the big picture rather than just one individual job.
