“As far back as I can remember window washing has been part of my family. My family traveled a lot throughout my childhood and my father was a man of many trades. When I was about five we settled down for a while. During this time he started to work for a company washing windows. He became very good at it and as time passed we moved on. He used these skills to travel and do jobs along the way. Along the way, he would let me help him and teach me many different techniques as well as teach me how detailed this trade really was. As I became older I always enjoyed doing windows for people. In high school, I even started a commercial route to make money as a job.
At the age of 17, I decided that I wanted to go to business school and ended moving to the town where my father had worked for the larger company. This began my journey as a professional window cleaner. Over the next 10 years or so I grew exceptionally passionate about window cleaning. At this point, I had surpassed all the workers and become the general manager. After graduating from business school I decided to stay on and run things for this company and realized that there was a great future in the window cleaning industry. I decided after a few years to move to The Denver area and work for one of the largest companies in town. I believed that I could make a great impact at this scale. As it turns out this was not the end of my journey.
It wasn’t until I realized my passion for dealing with homeowners and the care and training that has goes into each account that I realized where I belonged. I found myself growing in a much more personalized company doing what I have always been good at, enjoying my work. In Boulder, I found a real relationship that I could grow, a clientele base that fits and partners that gel.”
