ABOUT ME

I didn’t set out to become a contractor — I set out to build things right.

I grew up around craftsmanship. My grandfather ran a furniture restoration business and was, by every account, one of the best in it. My father built furniture himself — some of it still sits in my own home today. Watching them work taught me something before I ever picked up a tool myself: the difference between work that’s finished and work that’s right usually comes down to the details nobody else would notice.

I actually set out to become an architect. I designed my first home in seventh grade and spent years of schooling working toward it, until I realized I didn’t want a desk job. I wanted to build with my hands and see the result at the end of the day.

In my twenties, I went to work for a high-end remodeling company, learning what real craftsmanship looks like when there’s no room for shortcuts. Later, I managed renovations for a large apartment company — good experience, but not the kind of work that let me actually get to know the people I was building for.

That’s why I started HillsBuild.

I wanted to work directly with homeowners — not manage a pipeline of jobs, but walk each one through their own project, start to finish. Every client gets the same attention to detail, whether the project is a modest bathroom refresh or a full kitchen overhaul.

What that looks like day to day:

 • I’m the one you’re talking to — not a call center, not a rotating cast of reps. If you text me, I answer.

 • Every decision point gets walked through clearly, so nothing shows up as a surprise on your invoice.

 • Your home gets treated like it’s still your home during the project — floors protected, job site cleaned daily, no chaos left behind.

My goal isn’t just a finished remodel. It’s a remodel you didn’t dread living through.
