Built Through Experience

My career began with the fundamentals: framing new construction and residential additions under the guidance of my grandfather. Those early years taught me to look beyond finished surfaces and understand that lasting results depend on the strength of what is underneath.

After moving to Atlanta, I began managing acquisitions and larger projects for real estate investors. I later partnered with my best friend to build businesses focused on property wholesaling and project management. The work demanded sound judgment, careful coordination, and accountability when conditions changed.

A difficult breakup eventually forced me to rebuild outside the job site. As I started over, I saw how closely personal change mirrors the work I already understood: assess honestly, decide what can be repaired, create a plan, and follow through.

That experience shaped the philosophy that guides my work today:

“Change your behaviors, and you’ll change your habits. Change your habits, and you’ll change your mindset. Change your mindset, and you’ll change your life.”
- Patrick Grenier

Today, I apply that approach across three kinds of work. I manage construction and restoration projects, coach people who want practical structure and accountability, and refinish furniture that deserves another life. The materials are different, but the standard is the same: understand the condition, respect the process, and do the work carefully.
