Growing up on a dairy farm in southwestern Ontario, I learned from my father the importance of working with my hands — whether it was planting crops, caring for livestock, or finding creative solutions to help the farm thrive. These lessons shaped not only my work ethic but also my appreciation for craftsmanship and purposeful design.
That upbringing eventually inspired me to establish my own construction company in Ottawa. At High Above Construction, our goal is to give the work of our hands for the upbuilding of people's homes — creating spaces that are both beautiful and highly functional, built with care, integrity, and a craftsman’s eye for detail.
