Joe’s extensive experience in the hands-on aspects of construction incredibly spans almost 60 years and two countries. He began his apprenticeship at age 11 under a local builder in his town. Instead of continuing with school Joe entered the trade full time and by the age of 13, was supervising two labourers. At 17, he built his first large-scale custom home – his family’s home – from the ground up with concrete rocks and blocks.

Moving to Montreal to work in the construction boom around Expo 67, Joe added landscaping to his skillset. Relocating his young family in Vancouver, he worked for over a decade with Artuso Brothers as Lead Carpenter building large complex projects before striking out on his own.

Joe understands everything going on across the site at all times. His ferocious work ethic carries over to the rest of the team, instilling efficiency, integrity and mental toughness.
