Owner of Redbud Handyman

My name is Dave. I am a skilled handyman with a passion for problem solving. I have over 10 years of experience performing handyman work and have built a reputation for being reliable, efficient, and detail-oriented.

I have a unique background for a handyman. I have a degree in Mechanical Engineering and worked in the Aerospace industry for 15 years before quitting to run my handyman business full time. I also have an MBA. Both of these degrees and my engineering background have fueled my desire to think through my customers’ problems and come up with a solution that both solves the issue and meets and hopefully exceeds the customers’ expectations.

Why would a mechanical engineer quit his career and start his own handyman business? The fact is, I love working with my hands and I realized I was not satisfied sitting behind a desk all day and wanted to use my skills to help people in a different way.  

I pride myself on being able to provide honest and reliable service to my customers. Unlike many of the fly by night handymen out there, I will answer my phone, return calls, show up when I say I will, and stay in constant communication until the job is complete and you are satisfied with the work.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my wife and 3 kids. I love going to watch my kids play sports and do what they love to do! We all enjoy hiking and spending time outdoors.

I am always looking for new opportunities to utilize my skills and knowledge to help others, and I am excited to see what the future holds. Thank you for considering me for your upcoming project.
