About

I’ve called Charleston home since 2001, when I moved here from St. Louis to attend the College of Charleston. Over the years I built a career managing teams at Apple, where I spent twelve years learning everything I could about leading people, delivering great customer experiences, and facing hard conversations head on. I went on to work as a project manager and requirements analyst at Booz Allen Hamilton, serving as a liaison between the Department of Veterans Affairs and teams of software developers. All the while I’ve spent the better part of two decades playing mandolin in a local bluegrass band called Green Levels, which has grown into a thriving small business playing weddings, corporate events, and private parties throughout the region.

But the work I love most happens with my hands. I bought my first home in Park Circle in 2014 and haven’t stopped building since. I’ve opened up walls and reimagined floor plans, converted a two car garage into a 700 square foot studio apartment, laid a bluestone patio, built custom closets and desks, designed outdoor showers, constructed stages, installed hardwood floors, repointed fireplace mortar, built craftsman style bed frames, and replaced more ceiling fans with dimmer switched flush mounts than I can count. When my position at Booz Allen was eliminated in the spring of 2026, I wasn’t surprised, and honestly I was a little relieved. It felt like permission to do this full time. I can’t wait to build something together.
