I grew up in Greensboro, NC. My first construction job was as a summer carpenter helper on a framing crew when I was 16. I learned quickly that I love this type of work especially because I could see the accomplishments at the end of the day. So throughout my education years I always sought summer or part time work in construction. I graduated from Grimsley High School (home of the Whirlies) where I mainly focused on academics and sports. After graduation, I went to Guilford College to play baseball and after one year there I ventured to Fremont California to play baseball for Ohlone College and graduated with an AS degree in Liberal Arts. After figuring out baseball was not going to be my career and that a Liberal Arts degree doesn't do much, I came back to beautiful North Carolina to work construction. This is when I figured out that I want to make this my career, so I went back to school and ended up getting a Civil Engineering Degree from UNC-Charlotte. My first job out of college was working for an environmental consulting firm in Greenville, South Carolina that focused on remediation of contaminated sites through removal and treatment, microbial degradation, and phytoremediation methods. I learned a lot during this time but my passion was construction, so during this time I obtained a South Carolina Contractors licensed and built my first house. It later turned into many homes until the 2008 financial crash. After the crash, I was lucky enough to be hired in January 2009 to work as an engineer for NCDENR Land Quality section that focused on erosion control permits for land developments, dam engineering, and mines. I obtained my Professional Engineering license during this time and enjoyed my time working for Land Quality, but I missed building. In 2013, I was offered an engineering job for the City of New Bern. This is what brought me to the area and I'm glad for it. In 2014 I started Cape Merit Homes and have been building ever since and love doing it.
