Beyond Backyard Living 

Meet Our Expert Team of Outdoor Living Specialists

At 13 years old, I started working in the construction industry with my uncle, whose guidance and work ethic instilled in me the importance of always doing my best. By the age of 16, I had my own subcontracting business specializing in drywall.

After serving my country in the Marine Corps and attending college, I pursued a career in professional track, even competing in the Olympic trials. Through perseverance, hard work, and dedication, I built a successful  company from the ground up and by the age of 27, I had successfully sold my first construction company.

Following a few years of retirement, I launched a general contracting business, serving hundreds of families over the course of 20-plus years. As I gained more experience, I discovered a passion for creating backyard dreams for people. This shift in focus proved to be immensely enjoyable and rewarding, as it allowed me to help bring families closer together.

Inspired by this newfound passion, I founded Beyond Backyard Living, a specialized backyard living and concrete company dedicated to transforming outdoor spaces into luxurious retreats. Our mission is to provide the highest quality service, ensuring that every project is executed with precision, creativity, and a deep understanding of our clients’ visions. At Beyond Backyard Living, we are committed to excellence and craftsmanship, creating stunning and functional outdoor environments that bring joy and togetherness to families.
