I bought the Pearland and Friendswood CertaPro Painters in March 2013. At that time, I was the sole employee, but have now built the business to include Karen my trusted Office Associate; Tracey, a Commercial Sales Associate and Joe, an Operations and Production Manager. We typically have between 15-21 painters working for us on any given day.
In early 2019 I purchased CertaPro Painters of Central Fort Bend covering Sugar Land, Richmond and Rosenberg. Residentially we now service Pearland, Friendswood, Sugar Land, Richmond, Rosenberg and the surrounding areas. Commercially we are able to service any area in Greater Houston and beyond.
Before this I lived in London, England and was employed as a Scotland Yard Detective Sergeant. In my 23-year career as a Detective, I was instrumental in setting up a gangs unit whose role was to identify and dismantle the most harmful gangs in London, as well as being specifically selected to work directly with the Senior Management Team on a number of different projects.
I am committed to running my business with honesty, integrity and professionalism. This is shown in the “NPS” customer surveys that we receive being well above the CertaPro 70% national average as our local company consistently receives 90% plus ratings. Each year our CertaPro Painters business has had continued growth starting at $500,000 in 2013 and in 2020 we completed over $2.2 million dollars in painting.
On a personal note, I am married to Mandi who has lived in Texas for over 35 years. I have two children. My daughter is 24 and has just returned from spending time traveling. My son is 20 and in his first career. I am a lover of all sports and am a Houston Texans season ticket holder, and a sponsor of both the Houston Astros and Sugar Land Skeeters. I enjoy attending baseball, basketball, and soccer games in Houston. The last members of our family are “Harper” and “Teddy”, Labrador mixes that we adopted.
