I was born and raised in the Bitterroot Valley area of Montana. I married my high school sweetheart Beverly there and have been with her for 36 years. We raised two children together, a boy and girl, now grown.

I joined the Air Force in 1975 and was moved to Anchorage, Alaska in 1988. I retired from the military in 1996 at the rank of Master Sergeant. I have enjoyed remodeling homes since my late teens when I first helped my father build a house. Since then I have installed and remodeled bathrooms, kitchens, built decks for friends, coworkers, and my own family in my off-time. Remodeling has always been a passion for me, so after my military retirement I decided to do it full time as a licensed contractor.

20 years of part-time experience combined with the last 15 of full-time has given me over 35 years of total experience in the field of home remodeling.
