When did you first become self-employed?
Can you describe when you began your business?
Do you have any favorite stories about your business?
- I pretty much go to any end to make sure they are happy before I get paid. I don't like accepting pay until I know the client is completely happy. I feel things should meet a certain level of expectation.
What would your clients find somewhere else they won't find with you?
- Someone who is willing to just slap it together and hire everything out and just handle the paycheck, I guess. I like to be involved in every aspect of it. It's a good learning experience.
How did you get into your line of work?
- My stepfather was a maintenance man for the apartments he lived in, I got to help him out. It intrigued me on how to build things. I was good at taking things apart, I wanted to learn how to put them back together. Since then I've been fascinated with it, always wanting to learn more.
What did you want to be when you grew up?
- An astronaut when I was 5.
What lessons has your work life taught you?
- Not just taught me, but given me, a lot of accountability.
- It's helped me be a better father, I think. It's helped me be transparent with all my actions. I don’t want to be like many other contractors out there.
What are your dreams for your business?
- I would like to get into doing nothing but custom cabinetry or fine carpentry. The second level to that is the restoration of older homes because it requires a higher level of attention to detail.
If you could do anything now, what would you do? Why?
- I would learn more Japanese joinery. The carpentry on that end is really just fantastic. I like the tolerance levels; it's a zero tolerance kind of thing. You have to be really accurate. You have to strive to be better.
When did you first become self-employed?
- Back in 2011, I became full-on self employed.
Can you describe when you began your business?
- It was very stressful learning all the ins and outs, yet relieving at the same time. It was the feeling this was something I should have done a long time ago.
Do you have any favorite stories about your business?
- Probably the one that started it all off; that would be building the interior of the dentist's office. I was able to accomplish in 4 months what should have taken much longer. It was quite a project and I like the outcome of how it came out. I still go there and look at the drywall and how well it holds up, the framing was done really well.
