John started working on building houses from age 18 when he built three houses with his father. Today he has his own company but he does not shy away from a hammer. John's main goal has always been focused on changing people’s lives, by helping build their dream home. John said, “I strive to be as honest as I possibly can.” His time is divided into sports including bass fishing and spending time with his wife. John believes being forthright and honest is the best policy. He said, “Little white lies will catch up with you and it just downgrades the quality of you as a person”. The hardworking 70-year-old treats his contractors as brothers and sisters. “The most important people to you are actually people that work for you” John added. He has used the hammer for 25 years and knows that if people are treated and paid right they do good quality work. He also advises knowing what you’re doing and how to talk about it. John has a transparent business model that clients like. “I become partners with the client. I charge them a management fee, for managing the whole project. They have to pay all the bills.” This was a great interview and has some unique insights from someone who has been around the block a few times!
