Meet the craftsman
I started in residential remodeling and carpentry on the East Coast, working full time with my father from the age of 16. Immersed early in every part of the process, I learned how to do the work right, treat people well, and take pride in what I build.
Today, I run Black Opal Construction in Southern Oregon, bringing over 20 years of experience to each project. I approach my work with a creative eye and a problem-solver’s mindset – refining layouts, building custom pieces, and helping clients bring their ideas to life. My process is collaborative, focused, and built on trust.
Outside of building, I’m a drummer. That rhythm and precision carry into my work. I like things to feel solid, thoughtful, and dialed in. Whether it’s a full renovation or a small detail, I want the finished space to feel just right.
