I started my career as a painter, as a boy, helping my dad paint our family home. He taught me a lot about painting and fixing things around the house. Over the years, in between college classes, I would help neighbors and friends and family with all kinds of home projects. After I graduated college, I continued doing more and more of this type of work, to where I believed it was time to take the plunge and start my own business. I started my business because so many clients and friends told me that I should. When I realized how many referrals I was receiving, and that the work kept me busy full-time and then some, that’s when I committed to officially starting this business.
