At the age of 15, I started working part-time for my father’s painting company. We specialized in both commercial and residential properties. This experience proved invaluable as a few years later I would open my own painting company; Paint Master Painting Contractors specializing in custom homes.
As I continued with Paint Master I observed the beginnings of a trend; traditional painting was becoming commoditized – home owners wanted something new and fresh. It was here where I started to experiment with plasters and tints; using faux finishes to create texture and depth.

Further delving into the art of faux-finishing, I aligned myself with two talented partners and we created Masterpieces Studio. It was an exciting time creatively as Masterpieces served as an artistic hub; everything we worked on was an original and we weren’t afraid to take chances with a variety of mediums.

One of these mediums was cast stone; a concrete masonry product simulating natural-cut stone. Seizing an opportunity to capitalize in an up-and-coming niche within the architectural market; I co-founded a cast-stone mantel company and in 2001 Siena Design was in business. Inspired by European style, Siena Design carved unique architectural elements and created a vast inventory of molds. Experimenting with pigments and raw materials allowed us to simulate the look and feel of Limestone, Sandstone and Travertine. My goal in the architectural industry has been to identify and adapt to the latest trends in the market always with an emphasis on being able to offer clients a complete solution.
