In 1986 he built out the last 15 homes in Green Meadows and moved to Davis the following year with his wife Betsy and son Joel. He’s built commercial projects and restaurants around town and many custom homes in almost every major subdivision in Davis. For the past eight years he and his son Joel (project manager) have concentrated on remodels and additions with an emphasis on custom kitchens and baths with extreme attention to detail and customer satisfaction.
