Before I helped co-found Empire Contractors LLC, I worked for one of the biggest roofing companies in the city. I had a drive to educate myself with knowledge and proper techniques within our industry. With this motivation and drive, I quickly became one of the leading sales representatives within the company. Within a short time-frame, I had amounted over a million dollars in sales. This is what lead me to the position to start Empire Contractors LLC.

I love dogs, tacos, Christmas, and walks on the beach….Seriously, I do love those things, but even more so I love creating a place where people can work in a professional environment, grow their skills, and make the company better. Most of all I love my family. My wife and two kids give me a reason to make Empire a great company for its clients as well as its employee family.

Before being a co-founder of Empire I had a background as a training coordinator of management personnel. I am proud to be born and raised in Cincinnati. I enjoy spending outdoors with my amazing family and the seasonal opportunities our region has to offer. We are always moving together outdoors from camping in the spring until the end of fall. Once winter hits you can find us on the slopes at Perfect North. The thing I love most about my job are the different people and places I discover everyday in our amazing Queen City. There is truly nothing more satisfying than being able to share the gifts I’ve been given to help folks.

I oversee project scheduling, labor, and customer service at the company, where I’ve worked since 2016. Previously a chef, I transitioned into roofing, applying my management skills from both the restaurant and construction industries. My experience includes work as a painter’s apprentice, general laborer, and sheet metal worker. A lifelong Cincinnati Westsider, I recently bought my first home in Delhi. I have three sons who keep me busy, and in my free time, I enjoy music, history, and the outdoors.
