Professional Painting in Lindsborg, KS 67456

I grew up in the Meriden, KS, about 20 miles northeast of Topeka, KS. My grandparents had a small 80-acre farm which I worked and learned work ethic. We fed animals and worked the garden and bailed hay every summer. My favorite memories back then were farm pond swimming and creek swimming. As I grew up, I continued to work the farm in the summer and helped other farmers in the area bailing hay. In school my favorite memories were playing the trumpet in band. I started in middle school and continued through high school. Once out of school I became an equipment operator running everything from back hoes to track hoes, dozers, and scrapers. After 7 years of that I decided to begin my own company.

At the time I didn't know how everything would work out. I just knew God had led me to begin painting sheds and garages and doing handyman work. It was a tough first couple of years to say the least. Many times, paying my help and I made 10 and 12 dollars an hour. It was discouraging and also beautiful at the same time. I was being tested at the highest level. God was asking me, "How bad do you want this?" Running your own company has many challenges and many moving parts as your growing and coming up. It was necessary to work 6 days a week and 12 hours a day just to keep up. Working by yourself and only having 1 helper puts a lot of pressure on you.

But thank God after 4 years things began to flow more smoothly, and things began to fall into place. God brought the right people at the right time. Bigger and Bigger jobs began to come in and finally my character and hard work ethic began to be noticed and appreciated. I eventually went to Kansas City, Kansas and took painting to the next level and took the State of Kansas test to become EPA Certified and passed. Now currently things are flowing in the right direction. Always looking for new talent and continuing to press on.

I'm 42 this August 16 and still learning so much but I have a solid foundation and the right people around me that I'm daily accountable to. Still not married and no kids. Everyone is always asking why I'm not married, but this is something I've been thankful for. I don't believe I would have been able to do both. Starting a company takes your full attention. Weather God has me single or married one day, I've learned to be content in each and every season of life.

My advice to upcoming men or women wanting to start their own business is be prepared to be tested and tried by fire. Your word and your actions are all you have in this life and people are watching. Don't be afraid to look bad, no one is perfect. You fall in life or business the strong ones get up and learn and make changes. Your prayer life will be tested as well. God uses this to draw you near to him and to build your faith in him. Thanks for reading my mini bio.

God bless you!
