Summary

I am an experienced carpenter with over 20 years experience. I can build, repurpose, fix, and finish any job that is given to me.

My passion is building and creating. I've successfully built many homes from the ground up from my home town in Petersburgh to industrial roofing complexes such as the Edy and the Hilton Hotel in Troy, NY.

I started out with a small family /friend's carpentry company 20 years ago and have branched out into other fields of expertise since then.
