Grad Student Transplant
My wife and I grew up west of the Rocky Mountains. After completing our bachelor’s degrees, I was accepted into the PhD program in the Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences Department at the University of Michigan.
Setting Up Shop
While pursuing my degrees, I picked up extra work as a handyman. I've always enjoyed fixing things and working with my hands. One referral led to another, and soon I had plenty of work. Being self-employed allowed us to stay in this town we’ve come to call home.
New Roots
We love the friends we have made during our time in A2, the District Library, the excitement around fall, summer fun on the river, access to art and culture, and so much more. We couldn’t move away!
Career Track Shift
Whether it is conducting experiments in a lab or fixing a leaky sink, learning and problem solving are what keep me engaged with work. I love the internal and external feedback of seeing a job well done.
Cross-Pollination
As a handyman, I have been able to interact with neighbors I wouldn't have met otherwise. They have enriched my life by exposing me to new venues, music, cultures, worldviews, ideas, foods, and more.
