Introduction: I chose to work in this industry because I have been performing home improvement tasks for myself, friends, and family for years. I have often been told that I should do this as a profession. I am not a licensed contractor, but in California am allowed to perform many household tasks up to a total cost of $500 (including materials and labor.) I work in Healthcare as a Management Professional as my normal occupation, but at this point in my career, I have decided to cut back my hours and pursue other interests that are more conducive to raising a family here in Livermore. I have much experience working with my hands in the cabinet making, general home improvement, and technical fields prior to my current career. .
