This is where the story starts. . . Having a handy father who preferred to "do the work himself" rather than hiring things out, I have grown up working with my dad on his side jobs to build several houses around Indianapolis, with the most ambitious project being the house we built and lived in during my High School years. I was raised on the notion that building a new home gets you exactly what you want, and if done well, can earn you a lot of equity.
Born and raised in Indianapolis, and now working here, I've had plenty of time to think about the type of project I'd like to tackle. Each year my vision for the perfect place to build evolved and got more specific. The problem with getting more specific basically translated to getting further from my means and harder to find.
In April of 2008 I was lucky enough to marry Michele, the girl of my dreams, and her work ethic combined with her encouragement and support for all my house-building daydreaming was just the catalyst I needed to shift into full bore property hunting for a place to build our dream house.
