I grew up in Yardley, PA, one of 10 children.  I've been in the construction business for more than 30 years.  I've been building, constructing, working with wood, tile and metal since high school.  I worked for the Army Core of Engineering, Cold Region Research Division, Vermont.  A solar home I constructed was featured in a building magazine and local newspaper.  I've built custom homes on Long Beach Island, New Jersey, on the mainline, Philadelphia and in Buckingham, PA.  I've built homes from the ground - up, remodeled kitchens, bathrooms and family rooms and constructed additions and decks.  I've also done commercial construction including building and remodeling doctor's and dentist's offices as well as business offices.  I have worked with architects and interior designers.   My current passions include designing, crafting and installing custom wood trim, cabinets and shelves, and built-ins.  I also build unique furniture and create metal designs.
