About me
I am a third-generation builder. My grandfather and my dad were builders and developers, and I grew up on their job sites. I have spent the past decade at Mosher Dolan learning the work from Doyle Mosher and Todd Dolan, two generous mentors who taught me more than would fit on this page. Most of my day is spent between the client, the architect, and the people doing the work, making sure what was drawn is what gets built.
I love talking about houses, and even more about the people in them. If you are weighing a project, new or old, I am glad to think it through with you.
What we do
- New homesBuilt to the architect’s drawings, with the architects and designers you choose, local or national.
- Whole-house renovations and additionsIncluding the historic work that takes patience: matching what is there so closely there is no seam to find.
- Home careLooking after the houses we build, and others like them, for the long run.

A proud moment: in June 2025, The Wall Street Journal told the story of a house we built in Birmingham, Modern in the Trees.
