From Flight Medic
to Milwaukee's
Handyman
I spent 20 years as a paramedic and firefighter — the last stretch as a flight medic in the mountains of Idaho and Montana, where the margin for error is zero and someone's life depends on you doing exactly what you said you were going to do, when you said you were going to do it. That standard didn't leave when I did.
After EMS I tried real estate sales. The demand was there — agents were constantly asking each other for contractor referrals, and nobody had good ones. I started doing the work myself and quickly realized I was making more doing that than I ever did selling houses. So I went all in.
I saw a real demand and a massive lack of professionalism in this space. I thought I could fill that gap — and I was right.
I relocated to Milwaukee three years ago and built Alliance Home & Property from the ground up. The business is intentionally lean — I'm the one who shows up, does the work, and stands behind it. No subcontractors, no crews I'm not on site with, no diffusion of accountability.
My project management background means jobs are planned, not improvised. I assess scope before I schedule, I show up with the right materials, and I document everything. You get an itemized invoice — not a napkin number.
