My name is Kjell and I just love building things! Growing up in Ottawa in the age of technology I had always thought that I would end up finding a career related to computer science. However, while in high school I had the opportunity to try different summer job ranging from HVAC to landscaping and realised I really enjoyed working and creating things with my hands.
Right out of high school, I was able to get into an apprenticeship with a local carpenter whom, over many years, trained and guided me in knowledge and development. I eventually went through the apprenticeship program in Algonquin college and obtained my Red Seal certification. As a fully licensed Journeyperson Carpenter and started my own business shortly after.
I truly have a passion for my craft which is reflected in the quality of the work our company does. As such I go the extra mile to capture the ideas and designs of our client and make them come to life.
When I’m not working, I’m spending time with the wife and dog, going on hikes, road trips, and trying out different foods around the Ottawa area.
