Who We Are

Since I was a kid, something gravitated me towards spending the majority of my time working. At the age of 12 I got a job renovating. I learned a lot about houses, finish work, and all of the details a kid in middle school can retain. By the time I was 16, I started a sole proprietorship and renovated homes for local investors, but I didn't have enough work to keep me busy year round, I needed something more. On my way home from work one day, a fully erected crane caught my eye, a 10 man crew building an apartment complex, how cool? I stopped and asked for a job. This is where my framing career started. I spent the next two years learning about framing and the structure of a stick home all while continuing my renovations on the side and decided I knew enough to go do it on my own but boy was I wrong. In May of 2024 I started framing my first house as a subcontractor, and it was twice as difficult as I imagined. I learned mostly everything the hard way and wished I had stayed with my previous employers a little longer. Despite the lack of knowledge and expertise I had running a business, I was persistent. I kept framing house after house and taught myself to love the process. It didn't take long for me to retain the basics of running a business with employees and the people around me made it so much better. After building houses on my own for a few years now, I've learned to operate efficiently by properly leading a team, using the right tools for the job, and working with my head and not my back.

​

In a new generation where framers have become a commodity, I started framing with the intent to create the fastest, biggest turn key framing operation by recruiting shrewd subcontractors, crew leads, and team members that don't remove quality from the equation and limit our mistakes.
