Noe Valley General Contractor

Eli's earliest memory of working on construction began when he was living in the Santa Cruz mountains with his father. His father was a builder and designer who built his own home in the 1970's when Eli was less than 10 years old. Eli's job was to strip bark off of raw timber and haul newly milled timber to the construction site from the forest or milling location. In his early teens, Eli worked summers and holidays for local Santa Cruz contractors as a laborer. By his senior year in high school, Eli worked as an apprentice and finish carpenter for his father who at this point was a licensed contractor working in the Santa Cruz area. Upon completion of high school, Eli attended California College of the Arts (CCA) where he obtained a bachelors degree in Fine Art and Furniture Design. Throughout his college years, Eli was responsible for managing theCCAwood shop as well as working holidays, weekends and summers in the trades for his father and even a company that specialized in building climbing gyms.
