The Mass Timber Group Story
I grew up in a tiny Montana town with less than 1,000 people living in the city limits. My work ethic came from bucking hay bails and changing farm irrigation pipe. I have 5 generations still living in the area. Holidays are the best!

Born in Missoula, Montana, he grew up in Arlee—a small town on the Flathead Indian Reservation with limited opportunities. His graduating class barely hit triple digits. He played sports but grew up fast, eventually living with his grandparents when things got tough at home.
Following his grandmother's guidance as a U.S. Army veteran, he enlisted during junior year of high school. He served six years as a combat medic, including a 2015 deployment to Afghanistan, where he worked with a personal security team supporting the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. There, he met architects, engineers, and developers who mentored him and sparked his interest in real estate and construction.
I started in real estate by buying and rehabbing duplexes, rolling profits forward into land development and new builds. During COVID in Missoula, I saw firsthand how housing instability and poor-quality construction were failing families, which pushed me to search for healthier, longer-lasting solutions. That search led to co-founding Mass Timber Group, focused on scaling better building systems for developers and communities.
