I started Bear Paw Paint on one principle:

You should be able to trust your painter.

I've been working in the painting industry for 20 years across the front range, and I've seen it all. Contractors making promises they can't deliver on, employees damaging a clients home, and deadlines that keep getting pushed back.

After earning my Masters Degree and growing a thriving therapy practice, I saw was true professionalism was all about. Always delivering on your word, having world-class customer service, and operating with excellence. That's what I bring to the painting world.

Building a team is hard-work, and I've done it all for my customers. You won't have just anyone showing up to your house, you'll have a thoroughly vetted, highly trained team that reflects my values. My team will take care of your home, respect your space, arrive on time, and make sure the job gets done to your expectations.

Apart from work, I love skiing, hanging out with friends, and enjoying the mountains.
