Construction is in my blood. I grew up on the job site and I’ve seen the process from start to finish hundreds of times. Even to this day, the smell of lumber brings me back to when I was 10 years old, sweeping up my dad’s sites. It’s an amazing trade and I have so much respect for those out there swinging their hammers, especially on a 10-degree winter’s day in Bend. Clients can sense my confidence in this arena and that immediately builds their trust in me. I’m grateful to be playing this role in Bend’s growth and development.
