About
I've been doing handyman work for over thirty years helping family, friends and neighbors. I enjoy doing this work so much that I decided that in 2018 I would turn professional and take on new clients.
I have my B.S. in Mechanical Engineering and worked in the high-tech industry first in the Boston area then in Silicon Valley. But always returning to my passion, woodworking and handyman services. I'm from southeastern Massachusetts, but left the area for an Engineering job in Silicon Valley and was there for almost 20 years. I've also traveled the U.S. for over five years with my wife and cat as full-time RV'ers in our Fifth Wheel rig. So now, the next chapter has me back in Massachusetts and my next career as a professional Handyman.
In my 30's I designed and built my own home in Westport, MA. Most recent, I did all the inside trim and finishing work on my new home in Wareham, MA. So now I'm working on my own as a Handyman. No matter what you need around your house, compile your list, give me a call and I'll go over it with you.
Back in the 80's I designed and built our first home in Westport. |
In our latest new home in Wareham, I did all inside finish carpentry, |
I am a registered Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor (HIC), my registration number is 188305.
I am a proud lifetime member of the Association of Certified Handyman Professionals™ (ACHP). My membership number is 12374. Please view my ACHP member listing or my ACHP Certificate (pdf download).
I carry Handyman General Liability Insurance. You can view my Certificate of Liability Insurance by clicking here (pdf download).
