Company history
 
 I first became interested in home building as a teenager right out of high school with a summer job at a local lumber yard in Tewksbury Massachusetts. While I went to college I continued to work there and while there I met the local home builders and contractors. Soon I joined a local framing crew and worked my way up the ladder. In the mid 1970's the economy of Massachusetts was really bad so I moved to Houston Texas during their housing boom. I framed alot of houses in Houston before their boom went bust. In 1980 I decided to move back to Boston Massachusetts. Along the way, I decided to stop in Indianapolis to see my older brother who worked for RCA. I spent the next few days with him as he showed me around the town. I liked it and decided to stay. The following Monday I had a job working on the American United Life building downtown Indianapolis as it came out of the ground. I did this for the next eight years. Along the way I got married, moved to Greenfield and had two beautiful daughters. In 1989 I decided what I really wanted to do was build nice homes. I built a spec home home in Greenfield that sold before the drywall went on. I did another in Greenfield that sold four months after completion.  I did alot of things to keep busy in those first years, remodeling etc. I guess the word got out because pretty soon we started getting contracts. In 1992, I received the “Hancock County Builder of the Year” award. That was especially meaningful for me because this was a vote of confidence from my peers – other builders from the Builders Association. I've held every office in our local builders council, sat on the board of directors for the Builders Association of Greater Indianapolis ( BAGI ) and co-wrote the BAGI Quality Assurance standards that all members must abide by. Every year I usually have a home in our local home tour and have won numerous awards. I continue to this day doing what I really like - building nice homes. Along the way, I've been blessed to have really nice clients that have become good friends. I sincerely hope you're consider us for your next home! Thank you and enjoy your visit.
