Steve’s story
After serving for 44 years as a pastor in Seattle and in Hamburg, Germany, Steve felt it was time to pass on his clerical responsibilities to younger leadership. But he wasn’t ready to retire. So in 2019 he started his handyman business, working primarily with building managers in Seattle.
Mentored by an expert
Steve worked from 2019-2021 with Jon Courter, a sought-after contractor in the greater Seattle area. Jon provided a wealth of practical knowledge and trouble-shooting tips.
Steve’s clients appreciate the fact that he is meticulous and careful. He listens attentively to understand exactly what the client prefers. And his years of clerical and academic work have honed his problem solving skills. He loves to repurpose old materials whenever possible.
Second location
Steve and his wife, Karen, are part-time residents in Park City, Utah. This summer Steve has decided to hang out his shingle locally and test the waters for one month. Business license in hand, Steve is ready to take on projects in Park City during the month of June, 2025. If it goes well, he plans to return for another month of work in October, 2025.
“Most notably, Steve is passionate and friendly, two of the best qualities a human being can possess. Working side by side with Steve on projects was always a joy!”
Jon Courter, General Contactor
“I hired Steve to design and build a privacy fence around our trash and recycling bins. It was a job that required thinking outside the box, as it involved securing to a rock retaining wall. I was very pleased with the final product. It turned out exactly as I had hoped.”
Meghan Maguire, Seattle homeowner
