- How did you get started doing this type of work?
My journey into construction was an unexpected twist from my previous life in sports. I was a dedicated athlete, driven by the thrill of competition, until one summer changed the course of my life. As a teenager with a natural inclination for building things, I decided to explore a different path. I accepted a job offer from a local contractor, trading in my sports gear for a toolbox. With that toolbox in hand and a heart full of curiosity, I ventured into the world of construction. Little did I know that this transition would prove to be a defining moment in my life. While I had once chased trophies on the field, I now discovered the satisfaction of turning dreams into concrete reality. From that summer job, I learned the art of construction, honing my skills under the guidance of seasoned craftsmen. It was a journey that transformed me from an athlete into a general contractor, as I began to build and renovate homes and spaces for others, just as my own passion for construction had taken root years before. My story is a testament to the unexpected twists life can take, leading me from the realm of sports to the world of construction, where I’ve found my true calling in shaping and creating spaces, turning visions into tangible reality.
