I was born and raised in Virginia to a large family of five boys. I met my wonderful wife Melissa at church and we were married 27 years ago. We were blessed with four children, Hannah, Caroline, Jonathan and Luke. The girls have graduated college and are blessed with good jobs; the boys are still in college.
My dad was a wonderful Christian man and a hard worker who taught us to treat others with the highest respect and ethical standards. Almost all of us boys have worked in the construction industry to work our ways through school and feed our families. Two of my brothers still work in the construction field and continue to maintain the high standard of excellence we learned from dad.
I have earned two master's degrees. The first in math education allowed me to teach high school mathematics in the Richmond area for 5 years, first at Powhatan High school and then at the Governor's School. The second degree was a Master's of Divinity. After graduation in 2002 I served for a short period in a South Carolina church as the church administrator and youth director. Then in 2004 our family moved to Albania where I served with a Christian leadership and church planting ministry. We lived full time in Albain for seven wonderful years. Po, flas shqip!
After returning from Europe, I was blessed to start a successful business that helps families find safe senior living options. I still own and manage this business because of the fabulous employees who put our families' interest first and always do the right thing by them. I am excited to bring my many years of experience in serving others to the flooring industry in Virginia.
