Sam I.

Carpenter Foreman

Watching my dad remodel our home while I was growing up is what first sparked my interest in carpentry. Seeing projects take shape firsthand made it clear early on that this was the career I wanted to pursue. I’m drawn to the constant learning that comes with the job and enjoy finding new ways to improve my skills every day.

I joined the Gardner Builders team to continue growing in the trade and to put my over two decades of experience as a carpenter to work alongside a strong team. The variety of projects and the opportunity to keep learning are what keep me motivated and engaged on the job site.

Outside of work, I spend as much time as I can with my wife, our two kids, and our big dog. I also enjoy building motorcycles and restoring classic cars — a hobby that’s grown enough that I’m adding another garage to my property to make room for a collection that’s always expanding.
