Three Nails Home Improvement

The Three Nails Story

My interest in home improvement started as a teenager at a campground. I noticed there were retired men volunteering their services to repair and create items such as bunk beds. I asked one gentleman why he was spending his summer working for free. He said, "Jesus was a carpenter and I wanted to be one too." It was the first time I realized that Jesus was raised a carpenter and probably made house calls fixing things! I never realized that working with your hands could not only be a career, but a reflection of a man who shaped so many lives.

Growing up I chose a path in ministry. I earned a degree in Psychology at California State University, Sacramento followed by a Master's of Divinity at Fuller Seminary in Pasadena, CA. I served as the pastor at three different churches. I always used my spare time to build furniture, do home improvements and look for ways to use those gifts in ministry. I would even set up the church to look like my garage on Father's Day; complete with a wall of tools and a welcome sign made out of duct tape!

After 13 years it was time to step out from behind the pulpit and start swinging a hammer full time. I want to be a carpenter who connects with others and leaves their homes nicer than I found them. Deep down, I think that's what I've always wanted since the day I spoke with that man at camp

Eric is the best! You'll never find a better contractor/handyman ever!

He never wants to quit until the job is done. He often comes home late.
