President/CEO/Owner

Executive

For the past 14 years, I have owned and operated HomeWorx, a construction and property management company based in Long Beach, CA.  I have tackled jobs large and small in both the residential and commercial sectors and my many satisfied customers consider me their number one problem solver!  
I have also worked for Oakley, Inc as a Swiss-trained watch technician, where I developed and implemented a watch repair and warranty program for all divisions and subsidiaries worldwide., among other duties.  
After graduating from college, I spent several years working for a retail merchandising company, where I was in charge of planning and remodeling major retail store fixtures to meet changing product lines and store demographics.
I have also been a principal in several small start-ups including a custom skateboard ramp design and construction company, a photographer and manager for fledgling punk rock bands, and as the owner of a marketing company supplying vintage Volkswagen cars and busses for movies, videos, and print/web advertising shoots.
This collection of skills and experiences has prepared me for the next step: I want a challenge.  I want to create head-turning marketing and sensory experiences for fun companies. The kind of stuff that makes people say "how'd they do that"?

HomeWorx is my construction/property management company based in Long Beach, CA.  For almost 14 years, I have managed this company under the slogan "Attention to Detail is Our Specialty".  We have performed large and small jobs (and everything in between) for both residential and commercial customers.  Our projects have included design/build services for bathroom, kitchen and whole home remodels; General home repairs; Design, fabrication, and installation of retail store fixtures and accents; Market research and product line planning for retail stores; Advertising, marketing, credit analysis of prospective tenants, and general maintenance and management for a vast array of privately owned rental properties throughout Los Angeles and Orange counties.

Towards the end of the year, I focus my creativity and energy towards holiday decorating.  We are well-known for our Halloween decorating, and our creation of highly technical and sophisticated Haunted Houses for our clients. Our Christmas decorating routinely wins awards for our residential and commercial customers.  Of course, I save some of my energy to channel my inner Clark Griswold, and I can usually be found installing some 50,000 lights and dozens of vintage figurines on my own home in late November.

Design and fabrication of custom skateboard ramps and accessories. I work with customers to plan and build ramps for their specific purposes, or based on the amount of space they have available.  I have also provided ramps to the youth recreation programs of several Orange County cities for their "Skate Night" programs.
