Started in construction in 1995 as a laborer. Joined the carpenters union fresh out of high school in 1998. Started out in residential framing and trim. Worked for Geittemeier, Sds const., Taylor Morley, and Whittaker. In 2007 I moved over to the commercial retail side of construction when I took a job with Granger contracting. I traveled across the country doing installations for Shoe Carnival, Tmobiles, Follett Bookstores, Disney stores, Targets, and The Children’s Place. In 2016 I took a job with Waterhout Contruction and worked on ST.Joseph’s West Hospital, did three hotels with Midas contracting, and two different apartment complexes. In May of 2023 I took a job with Collaborative Carpentry as a Field Director.
