Born and raised in NOLA, I quickly developed an affinity for music, architecture, and design. While attending Ben Franklin HS, I had the opportunity to engage with like-minded individuals and expand my creative platforms. After graduation, I made the decision to move to Austin, TX.

Pursuing a career in music and art, it became obvious I needed a job that paid more than minimum wage to afford the extra costs associated. I was hired as an entry-level crew member with Americoat Austin. Based out of Dallas, TX, we specialized in creative pool deck coatings, including stamped, textured, and stained projects. While gaining further experience with cantilever repair, general tiling, and custom mosaics, I quickly earned the opportunity to run my own crew. Excited about this new challenge, I further developed project management, employee interaction, multitasking, and most importantly, customer relation skills. Striving to find the balance between profitability and affordability, I prided myself through honesty and transparency — including specific project details, communicating beginning-to-end estimate breakdowns, client-specific changes, and itemized spreadsheets of potential cost.

After 4 years, I decided to further my skillset by accepting a position with Custom Designs. As the primary contractor for Brinker International’s Midwest Division, I joined a newly formed team in the expanding Southwest footprint. Our principal client was the Chili’s restaurant chain. While servicing the corridor roughly from Houston to Phoenix to OKC, I further developed knowledge within the fast-paced commercial sector. Taking on full restaurant remodel projects as well as functional maintenance, I learned the importance of timing and efficiency. Facing strict deadlines — ranging from overnight repairs to ready-for-use A.M. openings — I further developed problem-solving skills that have served me well to this day.

After Hurricane Katrina, I decided to move back home, helping family and friends rebuild. What originally began as a 1-year commitment, I quickly understood the scope of devastation at hand. Rekindled with a new passion and love for my hometown, I decided to stay long term — starting my first business on Maple St. in the Riverbend/Carrollton neighborhood.
