Born in the great northwest, I have lived in Olympia and Seattle all of my life and love the green despite the rain. My hard working handyman Dad and father of my 8 other siblings instilled a great work ethic from an early age. I will always remember him saying, after our home's septic pump went out one evening, "Help me fix this, that is, if you want to shower tonight" (I got to hold the flashlight in the rain while my older brothers did more of the 'helping'). For 8 years I worked under a owner/operator in Olympia at Dryex and then moved to Seattle and worked for D.A.Burns for 2 years. I am now venturing out into the entrepreneurial world which I'm finding to be equally daunting and exciting. I offer you my best.
