Executive Carpentry services for your Home and Business.

Some jobs are too small for a contractor to look at or even return your call therefore, my services can fill that void between doing it yourself and hiring a contractor.  

Welcome to my new and improved website recently edited for political correctness in today's economy.

I am a carpenter.  I build things.  I build for my full time employers, myself, friends and family. I love what I do and it is also one of my hobbies.  I am not a business.   Eventually when the economy gets better I think I would like to try this as a business but for now I am not a business.

Oddly my niche seems to be helping friends and family that are helping themselves.  Most have started their project and need a little help over a rough spot. My people usually use me several times over the course of a project. Home owners have obtained any permits required by the time I arrive. So, I come in and do a day's work to help further your project as needed.

I have been doing this type of work for 17 years for construction companies on the West coast.

I encourage my people to work with me doing as much physical (hands on) as they can whereby controlling both quality and cost. Currently my offerings include all the tools and experience required for any project.

You would consider me for projects ranging from a few hundred dollars to several thousand dollars.  *Note on rates

Doctor, Dentist, Lawyer, Optician, Therapist, Banker, Broker, Beautician. You have chosen these specialists due to the trust you have developed over time.

As your carpenter I am dedicated to do the best job possible now and in the future. I want you to call me back to do more work in the future as well.

I am  honest, timely, skilled, tooled, and experienced with a wide and varied knowledge base that will be needed to complete your project. I have more than 24 successful years in the building industry as a carpenter trades man. I have been exposed to problems and solutions that will insure the level of quality, and timeliness that you should have every right to expect when paying money for construction services. You will not find me in the yellow pages as I am not a contractor. I do this full time for a living. I am familiar with an ever revolving network of other trades people who may be needed for your project. 

Lets talk about your project and how I can help.  

Originally from New England, I moved up from Fresno Ca. in 1993 to work for a institutional casework manufacturer  a.k.a. cabinet company. I was a carpenter/Forman cabinet installer for 13 years. I have personally installed millions of dollars of commercial casework (cabinets) all over the Pacific Northwest. Click to see some of my work.   

I am in my mid 40's and an avid outdoors person. If not working I am Skiing, Mtn. biking, hiking, climbing, camping, rollerblading or any combination of the other adventure sport(ings). I am a non smoking clean cut individual. I embrace technology and another of my hobbies is digital media, web authoring, multimedia production. I am literate in most Microsoft office programs. 

I have been a full time Carpenter since 1992.  In that time I have been involved with many interesting and sizable projects here in the Portland/Vancouver area as well as nation wide.  I work for some very well known General Contractors and Specialty finish Contractors.  A few of the larger projects I have worked on are  Jim Parsley Ctr. Vancouver, Illahee High school Vancouver, Shalala High school Vancouver, IDT Hillsboro, LSI Gresham, Intel D1B, Western View High School Beaverton, Liberty High School Beaverton, David Douglas High School, Motorola MOS13 Austin Tx, Kern Radiological Bakersfield Ca, California Cancer Ctr. Fresno Ca, Kaiser Permanente Fresno Ca, Clark County Center for Community health, Park Rose high school, Clackamas Mall,  St. John's Medical Ctr. Longview Wa. and the list grows each year.
