I am a Flathead valley native and a guy you’ll hear say all the time: “This is the best place this side of heaven.” I am a lover of all things Montana, from our rugged independent spirits to our compassion and willingness to always help our neighbors. I firmly believe that the Flathead valley Montana is the last best place to live. I have, however, not always lived here. During school months as a child I was blessed to live and work on a dairy farm in Vermont. I attended a preparatory high school in St. Johnsbury, VT. I earned student of the year there for drafting my senior year. I then went on to attend Wentworth Institute of Technology in Boston, MA for Industrial Design. There I earned an accredited Bachelors of Science in Industrial Design. My early work years had me designing water features and related products for WET Design design in Los Angeles, CA. There I was blessed to have a big role in the design and production of the worlds largest water feature in Dubai. But then Montana called my heart. I again came home and turned my many design skills to home building and the trades.
