Summary

Lead Carpenter with extensive experience building high quality homes and business locations around the High Country of North Carolina. I had the pleasure of being able to see a number of these builds through start to finish and I feel like that let me learn so much more than just building a portion of a project. With looking to my future I’m hoping to transition to a more administrative role as I try to grow what my role is in the construction industry and advance in my life.
