“My mission is to provide an elite level of service while building a team that enjoys their lives inside and outside of work.”
⚙️ My Journey: From Annapolis to Atlanta
I spent my early years in Annapolis, Maryland, developing a passion for working with my hands—from taking apart lawnmowers to wrenching on European cars. My professional journey began at 15, and after years of honing my technical skills, I transitioned from automotive repair to the world of Class A property engineering.
🏢 The Rise in Property Engineering
My career took off in Washington D.C., where I eventually served as the Director of Engineering for Douglas Development, managing nearly 11 million square feet of space for government tenants like the FBI. Later, as Operations Manager for Lerner, I maintained trophy office space in Tysons Corner, working under the high standards of Mark Lerner, owner of the Washington Nationals.
🚀 Launching My Own Business
Moving to Atlanta in 2017 allowed me to turn my “inner OCD” for detail into a successful business. After building a reputation with over 450 five-star reviews on TaskRabbit, I launched Your Handyman Atlanta to offer high-quality home repairs backed by a team that is paid above-standard rates and truly cares about their work.
🧘♂️ Outside of Work
In my downtime, you’ll find me hanging out with my wife and our three dogs, bowling, or exploring Georgia’s best restaurants. Here are a few snapshots from our travels and life in Atlanta:
