WHAT INSPIRES YOU MOST ABOUT YOUR JOB?

Oh wow, so many aspects of my job at Arciform inspire me! Here is a little list, to name a few:

• waking up every day knowing that I'll build, make and create
• working with smart, kind and crafty co-workers
• being part of the home remodeling process 
• relationships with clientele and their dogs

Now a Site Lead, overseeing remodel projects from start to finish. Prior, I was a Carpenter III for two years.

I’ve been part of the Arciform team since October 2021.

WHERE DID YOU GROW UP? 

I grew up in New York, just outside New York City in a small town called Rye.

WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO DO OUTSIDE OF WORK?

My wife and I like to take our two geriatric dogs walking in various neighborhoods and city parks. There’s always something new to discover!  We also love hosting friends for a evening around our fire pit and maybe a board game or two. Most other times, you’ll find me working on my garden or spontaneously remodeling part of my house.

WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE PART OF YOUR JOB? 

I love the opportunity to recreate historic architectural details especially custom trim and millwork. 

WHICH IS YOUR FAVORITE PORTLAND NEIGHBORHOOD? 

I really enjoy living in Montavilla neighborhood, yet I don’t think I have a favorite! I am grateful to work and get to know many parts of our beautiful and quirky city.
