He worked his way up the ladder, holding a number of titles, including foreman, general foreman, general manager and superintendent, and joined Fischer & Frichtel as project manager in 2021. He decided that he wanted to work for F&F because the company has its own carpenters. ‘As a carpenter myself, my standards are extremely high, and I know that is the way to ensure the quality that goes into our homes,’ he explains. ‘I’m also very impressed that we have an in-house warranty department staffed by carpentry veterans. I can’t stress how important it all is.’
