My grandfather passed on his passion for building and fixing things to me. He taught me quite a few life lessons while emphasizing, “People are important and do the job right.” These are not just phrases to me; they are words that have guided me over the years. We are empowered to do the right thing; we do not take short cuts; we do the job right. We value our customers and team members. We want to create beautiful spaces for our customers, so they can spend quality time with their family and friends.
