Short Job Description:
I think I'm still figuring that out, but basically whatever it takes to assure our clients are having a great time building their custom home. If they aren't, then I'm not doing my job. From design to construction completion and anything and everything I between, I'm here to help.  I have a sign in my office that reads, "Your husband called and said you can have anything you want!".  Once that's understood – the construction process is really very easy... Just kidding, but I really do have that sign!

I love my job - it's never boring. I'm somewhere between a fireman and an interior designer on any given day which adds to the daily excitement.

And did I mention...I really just want to make my boss happy... I like him very, very much
