Russian River Handyman

Company Overview

At just eight years old, I started my path in construction, remodeling, and handyman work. My grandmother, who held a real estate and contractor's license, taught me essential skills like drywall installation, painting, flooring, and window installation. She bought house components at auctions, and we would move them to her properties, assemble them, and renovate them for rental income. By the end of high school, I had participated in remodeling and constructing around 40 homes. I spent some time working for another contractor until I decided to return to Guerneville and launch my own business, delivering honest and quality services to my clients.

I launched my own business about twelve years back. Prior to that, I worked for family members who had homes needing remodeling or construction. When I turned 17, I worked for a contractor for three to four years, remodeling and building homes, even constructing his house with him. I have since delved into a variety of trades across multiple industries. I worked in the carpenter's union and contributed to the Graton Rancheria Casino. Indeed, I am aware of where the vault is! More recently, I have collaborated with contractor friends on and off for the past ten years and established a cooperative of workers. I have volunteered for Daily Acts, Clean River Alliance, now known as Russian River Keeper, and spent a month after the flood cleaning out garages. I volunteered during the fires and was able to protect a friend's house from being destroyed. I contributed to building homes for the homeless, and they were no longer without shelter. Now, my goal is to help people complete their honey-do lists and find happiness in their homes while working with great individuals.

I have spent roughly 30 years in the trades. I literally started working on houses at eight years old and gained a wealth of knowledge from my grandparents early on. With many contractors in my family, I was constantly fixing or building something while growing up, usually my own room. Since we moved often, I, as the older brother, got the less fortunate rooms, which I would then remodel. I always assisted my mom in enhancing the rest of the house and property.
