Tennessee roots. California standards.

Born in Tennessee. Trained in the desert. Back home in Knoxville.

I'm Tennessee born and raised. I spent my first 30 years here, learning to fix what was broken and build what was needed, the way East Tennessee does it.

Then I spent ten years in California's Coachella Valley working as The Hillside Handyman, in Palm Springs, Indian Wells and the towns around them. I set custom cabinetry in a high-end estate, hand-shaped wave headers to match a home's one-of-a-kind artwork, opened up a desert-modern house with new structural headers and walls of glass, turned a cluttered garage into a full gym, repaired a luxury spa's hydrotherapy bed, and wired security cameras and networks. Desert homes taught me California standards: precision with stucco, heat and glass, and clients who expect it done right.

Now I'm back home in Knoxville, bringing both together: Tennessee roots and a decade of California craft. If you've moved here from California, you'll recognize the standard. If you're from here, you'll know you're working with one of your own.
