Maybe you don’t have the same problems we’ve had with…

About Andrew

Hi, I’m Andrew. With various background experiences, I consider myself a jack of all trades. As a child I would spend a lot of time imagining and building new projects. Sometimes I would use a plan, other times I just wanted to have fun. In college I worked for the campus electrical maintenance to help pay tuition while in the summers I installed residential security systems. I taught in secondary schools: foreign languages in Utah and Texas. I taught with a bachelor’s degree in Latin Teaching with a Minor in French Teaching, In 2014 I earned my master’s degree in Education. After 6 school years (2012-2018) I made the choice to leave the classroom. In 2019 I started working as a handyman before deciding in the fall of 2020 to venture out on my own. I still spend a lot of time dreaming up projects and building things that work for others. My family is my world and they will always come first, but they also encourage my creativity and love to join in on the process.
