Owner Experience

​

I grew up in the very rural hill town of Newark, Vermont.  As a child, I was blessed to have endless miles of wilderness to roam.  Born the son of a carpenter and teacher,  I worked in construction whenever possible, starting at a 12. 

​

In year 2000, at age 18, I struck out for Alaska and picked up a job for a contractor who ultimately failed to maintain a client's confidence while building a custom mother-in-law apartment with a garage.  Through all that, I managed to maintain the client's confidence and ultimately completed the project for them.  I completed several other smaller projects in Alaska around that time too.

​

In 2003 I returned to Vermont with my wife, Stacie, where we resided for the following 9 years.  During this time we operated our successful custom building business, "Deep Woods Carpentry".  We designed and built several custom homes, additions, and did many smaller projects through those years.

​

In 2012, Stacie and I decided to return to Alaska to raise our family.  I immediately took a job as a framer with one of the Mat-Su Valley's most well-known custom home builders.  Within the first year with the company, I moved into an office managerial position and soon thereafter was given the title "Draftsman/Project Manager".  Over the next 7 years I was a key player in the company's success and growth.  While working there I drafted plans and contract packets, project managed, and processed warranty claims.  I worked directly with the clients throughout their home building process, maintaining their trust and confidence without fail.  I project managed 39 custom home builds of which 24 I personally drafted, all here in the Mat-Su Valley.  Additionally, I helped advance the company in many ways.  I amplified their robust project management software, created and maintained critical spreadsheets and templates, implemented a company-wide uniform filing structure, established consistent computer systems configurations,  and acted as the maintenance department, among other tasks.  The company employees and I grew together as a team, and I am forever thankful for the opportunity and experience working with them provided.
