The first time I remember painting was a barn/shed structure my dad put in the back yard. That was in Delaware, I was 5 at the time.

Through my teenage years, I remodeled with my dad when he needed help on the job.  In college I worked summers painting houses with a company called 'Colorworks' in Indiana.

Since graduating, I've moonlighted as a painter for extra cash and becuase it's something I enjoy doing.  One day I plan to go into business for myself.

I have a sum total of about 6 years painting experience, both interior and exterior. I approach each job with intensity and attention whether it is large or small. My goal is to do the job to the customer's, and more importantly, to my satisfaction. Most tradespeople make mistakes, but not all actually try to fix them. Rather than hope I don't get caught, I try to get it right the first time, or fix it and make it right, thus saving everyone grief.

I also have some basic experience with

  • Drywall installation or repair
  • Electrical: replacing lights, fans, switches, outlets and wiring.
  • Molding: baseboard, trim, windows, and crown molding
  • Tile installation and repair

If a project is beyond my abilities, I don't bid unless I can meet the customer's expectations.

A true native of the United States, I've lived just about everywhere, east, west, north, and south. Currently I reside in Gaithersburg, Maryland
