I’ve been painting since I was 17. I’m careful in everything I do from start to finish. I’m detailed in my quotes and I keep my clients informed throughout the process. I never skip steps. I prep like crazy and paint carefully. The lines are straight and final finish is flawless. A lot of painters show up and spray the same day. I always wash, scrape, prime, caulk and do every preparation step thoroughly. If optimal adhesion means painting by hand or staining with a brush, that’s what I do. I take my time at the end of a job to make sure your home is clean and every touch up is done.

When you hire Fine Edge you’re supporting my family.  My wife Tara and I live with our two kids in the Forest Lakes Neighborhood of Felton.  My wife teaches photography at Willow Glen High School in San Jose and handles the photoshopping for our color consultation service. Our son, Julian, and my daughter, Adderly, go to SLVE.

Fine Edge Painting of Santa Cruz, California is an attempt to copy Fine Edge Painting of Naperville, Illinois, where I learned to paint from my dear friend, groomsmen, and painting jedi master, Ryan Groharing.  He grew up painting with his dad and I joined the team as a teenager in 2000 and painted with him until I moved to California in 2010.
