Summary

My work history mainly consists of having a having a contractors license and building homes from the ground up. In the past I have worked for my family and myself in the construction field. Last August, 2023 I moved from Florida to Santa Barbara to caretaker for a family friend's mother. In February she passed away. I was asked to return to my previous job in Florida at T.FYFFE but am hoping to stay in Santa Barbara where I was born and raised.
