When the market crashed in the Great Recession of 2008, I was running a Jeep dealership in Park City, Utah.

We could still sell Jeeps but we couldn’t get financing for anyone. The frozen market cost me everything. After declaring bankruptcy, I moved in with my parents in Washougal, Washington.
My mom asked if I’d clean her windows. As I did, her neighbor walked across the street and asked if I’d do hers.

A light bulb went on. “Hey, I could do this.”
With $2,000, I bootstrapped the business from nothing to thousands of satisfied customers today. It’s allowed me to raise my boys and pursue my passions: travel and the art of Vincent van Gogh.

In 2017, I got the opportunity to repay my parents. They moved to Longview and with their health failing, I moved to be closer to them. I’ve been living in Longview ever since.

It has allowed me to expand our service area to include Clark and Cowlitz counties, from Castle Rock to Portland, from Astoria to Stevenson.
