MY BACKGROUND

I started my Carpentry Apprenticeship in 1980 in Manitoba under the tutelage of a registered Architect who was also a custom home builder. I worked for five years with his company under numerous European trained Journeymen Carpenters, and eventually, took over the building component of his company while he focused on the Architectural portion of his practice.

​

My wife and I moved to Vancouver Island in 1989 and I began working for myself. 

From 2003 to 2007 I primarily contracted for a local high-end developer, hiring and managing over twenty employees and apprenticing numerous carpenters along the way.

In 2013 I was hired as a Senior Project Manager by a large residential homebuilding company out of Sidney. While there I managed the construction of several multi-million dollar custom homes, and renovations.

In 2019 I began building under my own name once more.

Over close to five decades in the construction industry, I have been captivated by what makes a home great. In search of this answer, I have attended numerous courses in Log Building, Timber Framing, Cob & Straw-bale Construction, Passive House Design, Building Science, Joinery, Project Management and Green Building. These studies have taken me all throughout North America. My goal throughout this ongoing education has been the pursuit of knowledge with the intent to share my passion for construction with others. Even today, I still enjoy learning.

​

The basis of my career has been the relationships with clients and a deep care for the homes I work on. These relationships with people and structures extend far past completion. I have primarily operated from client referrals for the entirety of my career. 

​

When I’m not building, I can be found at home in Sooke reading, woodworking, listening to music, and spending time with my family.
