Fire protection isn’t just my career, it is truly in my DNA. I was exposed to the trade beginning as a young boy, wrapping boxes of sprinkler heads with teflon tape with my father at our family home. I dedicated my early professional life to mastering field installation, advancing rapidly from an apprentice to a Journeyman Sprinkler Fitter. Over years of hands-on work covering hundreds of job sites across the Pacific Northwest, I cultivated strong leadership skills as a Project Foreman, successfully managing complex projects and crews.

​

In 2017, I strategically pivoted to system design, bridging my extensive practical knowledge with modern layout principles. I quickly achieved my NICET III certification, and discovered a profound passion for design that benefits immensely from my years spent on the ladder and site. By merging field-proven practicality with high level design theory, I create layouts that are efficient, compliant, and, most critically, readily installable.

​

Now based outside of Phoenix, Arizona, I balance my professional dedication with a rich personal life. I've been married to the love of my life for 21 years, and we've raised 4 kids together. I enjoy golfing, listening to country music, and making memories during family activities with my kids and the family dog, Rory.
