For my first job, I went to work as a painter in Wisconsin.  After two years I moved to the Hudson River Valley in New York state where I continued in remodeling for the next 11 years... learning how to use an airless sprayer, hang wallpaper, operate a spray booth, even doing some industrial coatings.  That's also where I started dabbling in tile.  I moved to the Brunswick county area in 2009 where I soon became employed by Third Generation Tile, working with them for 12+ years.  I have enjoyed working with my hands and get a lot of satisfaction seeing the finished product.
