Experience, Credentials, and Education
My carpentry journey began in 2000 at a vocational high school, where I built a strong foundation in carpentry and cabinet making. Since then, I’ve dedicated myself to honing my skills and expanding my expertise, working with:
Homebuilders: From modest homes to the most modern and advanced builds in Rhode Island, I’ve been part of projects that range from framing to finishing the state’s premier homes.
Remodelers: Partnering with high-end design teams as well as companies focused on meeting the needs of everyday homeowners.
Master Cabinet & Furniture Makers: Creating custom, timeless pieces with precision and care.
I’ve also earned certifications and training that highlight my commitment to safety, quality, and professionalism.
Here is a snippet of our continued education:
Lead Carpenter Certification: Through the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI), ensuring high standards of expertise in Carpentry.
OSHA Training: Promoting safe and healthy working conditions for clients and workers alike.
LEAD Certification: Expertise in working safely with pre-1978 homes to meet lead safety regulations.
Pre-Apprentice Electrical Training: Gained through the Residential Construction Workforce Partnership, allowing me to identify electrical concerns and ensure safety, though I do not perform licensed electrical work.
I continuously invest in my education through programs like:
Rhode Island Builders Association
National Association of Remodeling Industry (NARI)
Udemy Online Academics
This ongoing dedication keeps me ahead of industry trends, enabling me to provide expert craftsmanship and empower homeowners with valuable knowledge.
A Little About Me
In 2018, I made Warwick, Rhode Island my home, but I’ve spent my entire career working in the Ocean State. Carpentry and furniture building aren’t just my profession—they’re my passion. Beyond my trade, I enjoy exploring creative outlets like digital and physical art, gardening, and experimenting with culinary techniques (including crafting my own hot sauces from homegrown peppers).
Art plays a central role in my life, from the furniture I design to the meals I create. Looking ahead, I aspire to open a workshop where I can teach Rhode Islanders how to tackle basic home repairs and small woodworking projects, empowering them to confidently manage their homes without relying on questionable YouTube tutorials.
When I’m not working or creating, you might find me cheering for the Rhode Island Football Club as a season ticket holder and avid tailgater.
Go RI-FC!
Thank you for considering Built In RI LLC for your next home project. I look forward to bringing your vision to life with care and expertise.

home Renovations
Renovation work breathes new life into your home by revitalizing outdated spaces without changing its purpose or structure. Whether it’s painting rooms a new color or adding tile where there was once carpet. Renovations can be more cost effective than remodeling all while feeling brand new.
Home repair
Repair work is about restoring the functionality and integrity of your home with precision and care. We handle everything from fixing structural issues to addressing minor wear and tear. Every repair is approached with attention to detail and a commitment to quality, ensuring your home remains safe, efficient, and looking its best. Whether it's a quick fix or a complex restoration, you can trust Built In RI to get the job done right.
built ins
Built-in furniture and fixtures are perfect blend of functionality and artistry, designed to optimize space while adding a custom, polished look to any home. From bookcases and entertainment centers to window seats and closets, built-ins are tailored to fit seamlessly into a room’s architecture, providing both style and practicality.
I love building built-in furniture because it allows me to combine my passion for craftsmanship with creative problem-solving. Each project is unique, offering the opportunity to design something truly one-of-a-kind that reflects the homeowner's personality and needs. There's a deep satisfaction in creating a piece that not only enhances a space aesthetically but also improves how it functions, becoming an integral part of the home. For me, it’s about turning a vision into a beautifully crafted reality that clients will cherish, realistically for generations to come.
Remodel
Remodeling is about more than updating a space—it’s about transforming your home into something functional, beautiful, and uniquely yours. We specialize in crafting high-quality renovations that blend expert carpentry with thoughtful design. From modernizing kitchens and bathrooms to creating custom-built solutions, I take pride in delivering work that enhances both the aesthetics and value of your home. My goal is to make the remodeling process seamless, ensuring every detail aligns with your vision.
