You have a different background than others, can you explain?
Well, I came from a broken home with no direction in mind. After graduating, the only thing I had was a good work ethic. So, I immediately picked up a hammer and started working with a contractor who became my mentor and I learned the carpentry trade. Learning the right way, not the wrong way. I worked with him for about 15 years and in the last five years we’d begun timber framing. I quit in March of 2007 to work on my businesses full time. So my educational background is BYU, “back yard university.”
