Coming from a background of working for my General Contractor father, I've learned quite a bit of all the different trades and dabble in all with the various jobs and projects I've had experience with, but excel at finish carpentry.

Choosing to not swing a hammer for the rest of my life, I've chosen to become a software engineer and have worked that route for the last X years, I realized that after 15 years, I really don't want to share how long I've been working now. However, I have not lost my love of working with my hands and creating new spaces, or renovating the old.

I have a 110 yr old house in Wheaton, IL and am enjoying life with my wife since 2001, and have 3 young children that keep me busy as well.
