I am a painting contractor that grew up in my father's painting business where I helped out through my mid teens. After my father closed his business and went to work for a large union company, and then eventually became an apprentice instructor for the Dayton Cincinnati Union Painting Apprentice Program. I went on to work for my father's competitor where after graduating from high school, I started my own painting business. Originally, I used painting as a way to pay my way through college, unbeknownst to me that it would become a life long career. I graduated from Miami University with a degree in Business Management and Marketing and a minor in Motivational Psychology. I am now into my 21st year in business.
