Passion = Craftsmanship. I am a Washington native and was raised in the construction industry. Our father, a life-long craftsman, instilled in us the importance of hard work, technical expertise, and doing things right the first time. I am a University of Washington alum, where I played varsity Rugby. I am also a retired Army Officer and combat veteran. These diverse life experiences have taught me the power of teamwork and the value of positive leadership. I absolutely love the outdoors and am always willing to engage in meaningful conversations over a good cigar and a glass of bourbon neat.
