In 1973, I was born in Alaska, and have lived here ever since.  I worked for Northern Testing Laboratories for seventeen years, but during this time, I discovered my true passion of building homes and general construction.  During the last years of my laboratory career, I renovated a home for my grandmother, then built my own home a year later.  I created JD Construction in May of 2005, offering an array of contractor and building services.  My specialty was building insulated concrete form (Arxx ICF's) houses and foundations.  I've studied construction techniques, have taken multiple courses aimed at air tight and energy efficient homes in the interior of Alaska, and obtained my Residential Contractor Endorsement in 2008. 

Back in 1996, my wife and I were married, and have two beautiful daughters.  Our family loves to get together with our other family members here in Fairbanks and go hunting, fishing, dipnetting, or just boat down the Tanana River, find a camping spot and have a picnic.   All of our families will get together every Sunday and have a 'family dinner', normally at my parents home, of which I added an addition in 2008-2009.

I am very dedicated and hardworking.  I also strive to be personable and friendly, even throw a little humor in now and then.  I will always take time to go over any questions or concerns you may have, even when I'm hanging from a rafter, I'll take time to come down and go over all the little details.  At the beginning of the project all the way to the end, you can be assured you're getting quality craftsmanship that will stand the test of time.
