MORE ABOUT YOUR HOST

I've been a General Contractor for 15 years. I have extensive knowledge concerning all aspects of remodeling, rehabbing, and renovating homes in the St. Louis area. I understand that some things can seem daunting and even worrisome but I hope to offer information that will allow you to take on some of the smaller projects yourself and not be overwhelmed. This is a the first of several basic home DYI classes I plan to offer.
