I started my career in the construction industry working as a carpenter's apprentice during the summer months in High School. After I graduated I moved to Kalispell, MT and continued learning the carpentry trade. After a year in the Flathead I decided it was time to build bigger. I moved to Seattle went to work for a mid-sized commercial construction company where I rounded out my carpentry skills as a union carpenter gaining my Journeyman's status. After a few years of working in all phases of commercial construction, I realized I had a knack for trim carpentry. A co-worker of mine and I decided to set out on our own and try to land finish carpentry bid-packages. While we successfully bid on and executed our contractual obligations, I attended the University of Washington's Certificate in Construction Management Program at nights. In 2008 I moved to Missoula and went to work for a couple smaller residential contractors and did some traveling but as far as my career was concerned I was never challenged to the degree I would have liked. In 2010 I met my beautiful wife, started a family, & I started at Jackson Contractor Group. I worked on a number of projects around the state in a foreman position. Wanting to advance my career, I had envisioned moving into a superintendent position but was offered an opportunity as a Project Engineer and worked my way up to a Project Manager. In 2020 I parted ways with Jackson to take the next step in my career joining the Nelson Construction team expanding their portfolio to include General Contracting alongside their established concrete and civil divisions. In September 2022, I accepted an opportunity with Dick Anderson Construction to help establish a market presence with DAC in the beautiful Flathead Valley.
