“I’ve been a painting contractor since 2005, and started in this line of work so I could pay for college. After three summers of happy customers and employees I decided to paint full time. After painting with Seattle’s most prestigious painting firms I decided to change course and see the world. In 2009 I joined the Army and deployed to Korea – serving honorably in the 1st and the 38th Field Artillery Battalion. Upon completion of my enlistment, I took the discipline and hard work ingrained in me from the Army and applied it to my painting business. When I am not drilling at Ft. Lewis or painting, I am tuning my motorcycle or mountain biking down Tiger.”
