I am a stone and tile installation specialist based in Des Moines, Iowa, with over fifty thousand hours of experience in the field. I have worked on a wide variety of projects, installing stone and tile. I am also an industry nerd.

• Hands-on commercial experience includes a wide range of both large and small organizations and businesses throughout Iowa. I have installed stone or tile in various establishments such as casinos, churches, factories, hotels, restaurants, stores, malls, schools, and theaters. In addition to those, there have been several county, state, and federal projects.

• Residential single-family and multi-family projects in which I have been involved span across Iowa and Florida. Projects of all sizes and budgets have been completed, including RVs, farmhouses, spec homes, historic homes, custom homes, and gated communities. Additionally, projects have ranged from apartment communities to multi-million-dollar condos in Naples, and a few luxurious prime beachfront mansions on the far south end of Marco Island.

• I have collaborated directly with architects, builders, designers, directors, engineers, project managers, superintendents, small business owners, operations managers, and other contractors on a variety of projects. I frequently offer expert technical advice and practical solutions to proactively tackle challenges in the field, with the goal of simplifying their lives.

Born in Des Moines, I am an artist who fell in love with the beauty of natural stone, the near-infinite variety of tile, the creative applications they allow, and the enduring aspect of both. That's why I love the trade. I strive to infuse my life with a sense of artistry that impacts my work. To consistently and reliably produce the highest quality work that my skills allow, to push my abilities towards ever greater mastery, and to strive to be my best!
