FAQs
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I apprenticed with a custom home builder up in Alaska for 6 years. I learned a ton from this guy and got a lot of valuable experience in custom carpentry. That’s what got me excited about the work I do now.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I got into construction with a family friend when I was 14 and found that I just had a knack for it.
- Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?
My favorite project was a total home transformation where we took an older A frame home and painted the inside white, installed modern fixtures and handrails, built in a tiled gas fireplace, and built a custom wood beam staircase. Then we painted the whole exterior white and installed a black metal roof. It was incredibly satisfying especially after seeing the joy on the homeowners faces.
