I’m a licensed general contractor and the founder of Construction Growth Solutions, a coaching company built by a contractor, for contractors. I started my career as a project manager for a Fortune 500 homebuilder before launching my own design-build construction firm. In just two years, I grew that business to over seven figures in annual revenue and sold it after four years, all while maintaining a 5-star client rating and earning multiple awards from the Better Business Bureau. Today, I help other contractors and small business owners optimize their businesses so they can reclaim their time, increase profits, and actually enjoy the freedom they’ve worked so hard for.

I don’t remember life before construction and design. My grandfather was a master carpenter, and as a kid I spent countless hours with him in his woodshop, absorbing the art of custom craftsmanship and the value of hard work. When I wasn’t Granddad’s shadow, I was helping my parents restore historic brownstone homes. Those hands-on experiences shaped my passion for design, problem-solving and the art of building functional spaces. That foundation led me on a journey from small-town New England through New York City and Philadelphia to ultimately landing in Los Angeles. Along the way, I honed my construction skills, refined my design sensibilities and developed a deep understanding of how people interact with the built environment. I met a brilliant architect named Lauren Adams and we collaborated on multiple projects. In 2010, we noticed a gap that bothered both of us: there just weren’t many firms offering a true turnkey design-build service. Homeowners and business owners had to juggle architects, interior designers, contractors and engineers, leading to frustrating delays, budget overruns and disjointed projects. We knew there was a better and simpler way, and so Letter Four was born. Letter Four is a design-build partnership for visionary homeowners and business leaders in the greater Los Angeles area and beyond. Through thoughtful design, holistic guidance and meticulous construction, we create places and spaces that fit the shape of your life.

Whether working through architectural design, quantities, color, or application - there is no roadblock too large to overcome. Because of my full knowledge of the industry from procurement, manufacturing, and shipping, I can provide the answers, assistance, and correct product for your project.
