- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
My father was superintendent for many builders and a contractor for many years and I grew up learning and working with him. During my early years I have taken Journeyman courses and have worked on houses, cabins, and commercial construction/maintenance. I have spent many years working on semi-custom/custom millwork and cabinets and carry that quality on all projects. Over the last 10 years I have also worked and performed services for some of the largest handyman companies in the country. Currently I am working on receiving a home inspection license.
- What types of customers have you worked with?
I have worked with builders such as Dominion, Trinity, Ambassador, Maronda, and cabin/home builders in Tennessee. I handled inspection and closing punch outs for Moranda. I also did the same for builders in Tennessee. I work with home owners, property management companies, landlords, and realtors handling inspection list repairs. I also work with facility maintenance companies and provide maintenance through them for companies such as Hollister, Barnes and Noble, Abercrombie and Fitch, Abercrombie Kids, JC Penny, Petco, and many others.
