Personal background highlights: ​I'm a third-generation painter. I grew up in the business.

Professional background highlights: ​Besides being a third-generation painter, I was a member of the Painters Union and served in an apprenticeship until I became a journeyman. I did industrial painting for about 10 years in oil refineries. I did commercial work in schools, banks, libraries, fire stations, etc. I then worked in new construction painting apartments and residential homes.

What I do: ​I now just do residential painting and specialize in interior painting, although I still do exterior painting as well.

What I like most about doing business here: ​I moved to Arizona three years ago and prefer the climate here.

What am I promoting: ​My house painting services are available to you.

What I’m excited about and why: ​I love the warmer weather here in Arizona. I like to visit the old west towns too.

Favorite community cause and why: ​I like to make donations to Sunshine Acres to support what they do to help kids.

When and why I started my business/employment here: ​I started my painting business in the state of Washington in 2004 and got my Arizona license three years ago. I enjoy painting and want to help people with their painting needs. I like the happiness I provide when my customers see a fresh coat of paint.

My family: I've been married to my wife, Virginia, for 13 years. I have two grown-up young men and two grandchildren.

My interests & hobbies: My wife and I enjoy ballroom dancing and like to watch a relaxing movie at the end of the day before bed.

People who inspire me (and how): My mother has always inspired me as I was growing up with all the things she did to help me improve my life and show me how to make things better for others too.

My guiding philosophy: ​I live by the golden rule, treat others the way you would like to be treated yourself. I thank God for the many blessings I have received in my life and for my good health.

My advice to today’s youth: Be kind to others. Look at both sides of the story. Try to find the good from a bad occurrence or situation. Take responsibility for your own actions and be self-reliant.
