Young Professional Of The Year Award

To be nominated by this community—a place where we live, work, and build—is a responsibility I take very seriously. Green Shield Deck Builders was founded on the principle of providing "Straight Talk" and superior engineering to our neighbors, and receiving this recognition from the Greenville Chamber is a powerful reminder that those values resonate.

A Community Effort:

• To the Greenville Community: Thank you for trusting us with your homes and your backyards. Your support is the hardworking backbone of everything we do. We don’t just build decks; we build the spaces where your families make memories, and I am proud to grow alongside this city.
• To the Greenville Chamber: Thank you for this incredible honor and for fostering an environment where local brands can thrive through specialized mastery and professional integrity.
• To My Team: This award belongs to you as much as it does to me. Your dedication to W-2 craftsmanship and our 20-point safety standard is what transformed Green Shield from a vision into a reliably engineered reality. You are the premier talent that makes these brands what they are today.

As we move forward, my commitment to Greenville remains unchanged: we will continue to refuse the "standard" way of doing things in favor of smarter engineering and local accountability. Thank you for being part of this journey.

I've been honored to receive an award from the Greenville Chamber of Commerce for 2025 Young Professional of the Year.  I was nominated by the community and I take this honor very seriously.  I want to personally say thank you for Greenville and the Greenville community, the Greenville Chamber, for honoring me with this award.  I also want to thank my team for helping me build Green Shield deck builders and my other brands into what they are today.
