What I wanted to be when I grew up: I wanted to be a cowboy. I grew up on a ranch and after years of getting bit, kicked, and thrown off horses I decided that wasn’t my calling. I’ll still train them in my free time though!
You might bump into me: On the slopes or around the volleyball net. There was a time you could bump into me at the beach but one too many sharks bumped into me while surfing, so I’ll stick to dry land now.
A quote I love: “If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world." - Tolkien
Favorite thing about what I do: I love working with my hands and creating beautiful things. I was always making and fixing things as a kid and now it’s my daily routine! I also love the relationships we form with our customers. It’s not uncommon for us to walk in as strangers and to leave as friends.
My Happy Place: Hands down, my favorite place on earth is the Eastern Sierras. I’ve been backpacking, fishing, and climbing in those mountains for over 25 years, and I still make time to go back every year.
People are surprised to learn about me: I might remodel kitchens for a living, but I know my way around one too. Cooking and baking is my hidden talent. Just ask the rest of the crew.
What I'm most proud of: I’m most proud of having taken the leap and moved to the Midwest to start working with Jude. Over the years I’ve gained a vast wealth of knowledge on renovation and remodeling, while also gaining an incredible family here in Michigan. Now I get to serve my friends and community with the skills I’ve learned over the years, and I couldn’t be happier for it.
