I have 23 years of experience, and specialize in the field of masonry construction with specific knowledge in the area of historic masonry. I have published on such topics as historic mortar, and stripping paint off masonry. My expertise is unique in that it is a combination of academic / technical knowledge as well as “hands-on” experience as owner of a historic masonry restoration contracting company. I have been privileged to perform the masonry restoration work on several of America’s most prominent buildings.
