I've had an interesting career. I spent my early 20s working on construction crews, both commercial and residential, in between following my Jack Kerouac fantasies of life on the road. I was both a hitchhiker and truck driver, a skier and motorcyclist. After a decade in the news business—I won some awards along the way—I decided to "settle down" in my early 40s: I got married and I worked a 9-5 corporate job,. After about eight years, including five spent at a prestigious tech firm headquartered in Raleigh, I decided that I would end my working years as I began them, getting up before dawn and facing the bracing chill of the morning with a fresh cup of coffee and the question, "What are we going to build today?"

​

So I return to recapture the raw sensations of my youth, but this time around, I will make judicious use of my age and experience: I have a general contractor license, insurance, a trailer full of tools, and a contact list full of excellent subcontractors. I love building things, and I look forward to working with you.
