I come from a family of builders, developers, remodelers, electricians, appraisers, realtors, and many other trades in the building industry. My father, who taught me the trades, is a master developer, architect, designer, and builder. He has some of the highest-selling properties in my hometown in California. I grew up working alongside him and other family members framing, building new houses, and renovating old ones. I have served in the military for 18 years and throughout my service I made extra money for my family by buying and renovating properties. Working in both renovations and new construction has allowed me to do almost all aspects of construction, home repair, renovation, structural re-engineering, and design. Due to my background, I see and approach projects from an aesthetic, builders, and renovators mindset. This allows me to find ways to make any ideas or projects you have in mind come to life for an affordable price whereas others will simply tell you what they can or can’t do based on convenience and not desired outcome. I am a builder who can do everything from the ground up, which saves you significant time and money because I can complete a project autonomously without the need for multiple subcontractors. If I don’t have experience in something unique you’d like to build I am willing to learn and figure it out as I go. I love designing and building beautiful homes and tackling difficult projects that take complex problem-solving to complete. I have three sons, whom I love and cherish with all my heart. I love being a father and have been extremely thankful to have been able to build my sons' halfpipes, obstacle courses, tree forts, and, currently, an indoor climatized basketball/sports gymnasium, or Barnasium, as we have been calling it. I love discussing and thinking through creative projects and solutions of any kind so if you have any ideas or projects you've been thinking about, call me and let's brainstorm and talk.

With proper maintenance, shipping container homes can provide decades of service comparable to traditional construction. The steel framework offers natural resistance to common housing threats, including insects, fire, and mold.
Regular maintenance should include rust prevention, exterior coating renewal, and inspection of connection points between containers. Quality foundations with proper drainage significantly extend lifespan by preventing ground contact deterioration. With appropriate care and protection from the elements, these structures remain serviceable for 25 years or more.
When properly engineered and anchored, container homes demonstrate impressive resilience against severe weather conditions. The steel construction that withstands ocean shipping provides inherent structural strength against wind forces. Appropriate insulation systems manage temperature extremes while preventing condensation issues common in metal structures.
In hurricane-prone regions, professional anchoring systems and reinforced connections between containers create a unified structure. However, comprehensive weather protection requires quality windows, doors, and roofing systems beyond the basic container shell.
Securing conventional financing for container homes presents greater challenges than for traditional construction. Many mainstream lenders have limited experience with alternative building methods and may have concerns about market valuation and resale potential. Construction loans or portfolio lending from smaller financial institutions often provide more viable paths.
Presenting comprehensive architectural plans, professional engineering documentation, and clear permitting approvals strengthens your application. Some homeowners utilize personal loans, home equity from existing property, or specialized alternative housing financing programs to fund their container home projects.
Regulatory hurdles represent a primary obstacle, as many jurisdictions have limited provisions for container-based structures in their building codes. Technical challenges include creating effective insulation systems for metal walls, managing moisture and condensation, and implementing appropriate structural reinforcement around openings. Logistical considerations involve transporting containers to the building site, especially in remote locations with limited access.
Additionally, creating comfortable, functional living spaces within the dimensional constraints of shipping containers requires thoughtful design approaches. Addressing these challenges early in the planning process helps avoid costly complications during construction.
