Where are you from and how long have you been in construction?

I’m from Peabody, MA and I have been around the trade my whole life. My father is a general contractor as well, so I grew up going to the job sites with him.

What do you love most about what you do?

The end result of a new home build or renovation is great, but going through the process truly gives me joy.

What is your favorite project that you’ve done and why?

I’ve renovated a condo on Mass Avenue in Boston. It’s a beautiful building. It was so much fun blending the modern with the traditional aesthetic.

What is your favorite neighborhood in MA?

I love Commons in Salem, MA. There are beautiful old homes surrounding a lovely park. There is so much history packed into one area.

If you weren’t a general contractor, what would you be doing?

I’m also a firefighter-medic. I’m lucky enough to be able to pursue both of my passions.

But Liz and Kevin’s 1923 house had a secret: water damage beneath the master bathroom floor, thanks to a shower pan installed incorrectly a decade before. “To deal with it,” said Liz, the executive director of an education nonprofit, “we needed to take the bathroom down to the studs.” With this, Liz and Kevin started planning for a bath remodel in their L.A. home. Liz and Kevin, a technical production senior manager at Disney Studios, viewed the dank discovery as an opportunity “to add storage and maximize space,” Liz said. But also to showcase their style. The two Mid-Century enthusiasts, who live w
