Sarasota's most-awarded custom home builder, built on open books and full-time presence

I learned to build from my father. He was old school. He believed quality came from doing the work correctly and doing as much of it as we could with our own hands, so he subcontracted as little of it as he could. My twin brother Jesse and I grew up on his jobsites doing nearly all of it ourselves: digging footers, tying rebar, pouring slabs, setting block, framing walls, setting trusses, hanging windows and drywall, running roofing, siding, and finish carpentry. Almost everything but the mechanical trades. That is how I learned to build, from the ground up.

Jesse and I later started our own rough-framing and finish-carpentry company, and for about a decade we built for many of the other builders in this market. That decade showed me how homes really get built around here, from the inside. I saw the best work in this market and the worst, and I learned exactly what separates them.

Everything we do at Trinity was designed from those two educations: the standard my father held us to, and a decade of seeing this industry from behind the curtain. We built Trinity to give our clients a better experience and better quality than what I saw most of the time out there.

I named the company Trinity for a reason. The Trinity is the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and naming the business this way is a daily reminder to me of who I am, who lives in me, and why I believe relationships matter more than transactions. We work the way Colossians 3:23 asks us to: with all our heart, as for the Lord and not for people. You will see that verse on our shirts, and you will feel it in how we treat you, our trade partners, and the home itself.

Our faith is the foundation of Trinity, and it is not a requirement we place on anyone else. We welcome clients and team members of every belief, and we hold all of us to the same standards: integrity, accountability, dignity, stewardship, and excellence. Those are Trinity standards before they are anything else, and they are not negotiable here.

When you build with Trinity, you are not hiring a vendor. You are starting a relationship with people who care about your home as if it were their own.
