In trying to figure out what to do you with myself as a chosen career, I knew decisions had to be made that counted. After finishing high school, seeing the writing on the wall with the ".com" boom, I decided to attend school to study computer science without really knowing what I was getting myself into. Long story short, it was not easy and I worked hard to earn my Bachelor's in Computer Science degree from Keene State College. Immediately after graduating, I went into the corporate world where I worked a long 20 year career working for a Clinical Research Organization. In my time there, I started with troubleshooting of computer issues and fixing software and hardware problems. Then I moved up in my career where I eventually landed in a department where data analytics were the bread and butter. There, I was leading/managing a global group as well as leading to create processes and procedures along with detailed training documentation.
After my position was impacted by a company reduction in force, I decided it was a great opportunity to bet on myself and start my own business. The idea of starting a handyman business came about while digging deep into what career move will come next. In listening to a podcast while doing some work on my sailboat, a light bulb went off. The question in the podcast was posed: "If you are unsure what you want to do next as a business idea, think about what other people say you're good at". Thinking about this question, I thought about how friends and family were impressed when I worked on general home improvement projects (in addition to car and boat work I did on the side). I have always had a general knack for figuring out how things work and either fixing them or making them better. In those projects I took on, I was always prideful in the end result and was always my own worst critic.
After years of hands-on home renovation - plumbing, electrical, drywall, flooring, painting, and more - I’ve gained the expertise to deliver high-quality results for the public.
