" I’m a builder. I love the creation. Ever since I can remember I have been interested in “ART”. My philosophy which I imbue into my staff is the acronym - ART - Aesthetically Reimaging Together. This is essentially what we’re doing with every project we work on. We work with the homeowner, we create together, and we build new spaces - be it a house, an addition, a kitchen, bathroom, basement or patio. With each project the team (the architect, the homeowner and FineCraft) is aesthetically reimagining the spaces together. I studied architecture at the University of Maryland, and when I finished my degree I realized that I enjoyed building so much that I really didn’t want to be in an office. I decided that because of the experience that I had in building, because of my background, I could be uniquely situated in combining my fortes for and with my clients. Taking somebody’s dream and bringing it into reality in all the details that one wants is the essence of ART."
Hobbies: Running, Reading, Spending time with my wife and family, Painting
" I was with FineCraft before it was FineCraft. I helped create the name of the company and the first logo and brainstormed with George on how to establish a company that would represent our values and principles. We aimed to create a construction company that brought family values and traditions to the workplace along with award-winning craftsmanship. Now, 32 years years later, 700+ projects completed, and with over 100, 5-star reviews I’m proud to say that we have been achieving our aims with practically every home improvement project we’ve been involved with.
