Where were you born? I was born and raised in Casper, Wyoming

What do you like to do on your days off? I love to be outside, and I find no greater peace than when I’m on a mountain trail hiking with my wife and 4 dogs. It’s wonderful having so many places to explore here in CO!

What is a past trend that needs to come back? Needs to go away? I think that we spend far too much time being “connected” to everyone and everything and not enough time connecting to ourselves. Living more in the moment and less on a cell phone should come back.

The trend that needs to go away forever is thinking that women aren’t as capable as men at anything. Break all the glass ceilings, ladies!

What is your favorite part of working at DeckTec? I have to say my favorite part of working for DeckTec is the simple fact that I work here! DeckTec gave me, some chick from WY, a chance to shine. The ability to be able to work with and learn from people who have the skill and knowledge is an incredible opportunity that I don’t take lightly.

If you have out of town guests, where do you take them for dinner? The better question is, where are they taking me? Just kidding. I love taking my guests to Simms Steakhouse! Such a unique atmosphere and the food is worth the price. Still waiting on
the chance to take anyone to Casa Bonita though.

What is a memorable experience you had on a project or with a client that you are particularly fond of? I had the opportunity to work with Lee’s crew on a job way west of Loveland back in the mountains. Although it rained pretty much the entirety of the time we were up there camping and working, the area was gorgeous and we worked alongside the wildlife there. The Nuggets won the title while we were there, and the homeowner set up the tv in the basement so I could watch the game in real time. Although they watched upstairs, when the clock hit 0.0 on that game we were all cheering together. It was definitely a memorable trip!

What is your favorite thing to pack for lunch? My favorite thing to pack for lunch is enough money to pay someone else to make it. My wife is not a fan of that though, so realistically it’s a PB&J (with blackberry jelly!) and enough protein to get me through whatever work we have in store for the day.

DeckTec Flexible Financing Offers

60-Second Loan Application

Simple, fast, honest, accurate, and completely confidential: that’s the type of service we provide clients seeking home improvement loans.

Get Started Today!

If the market value of your home is important to you – as it is for many – adding a custom deck can increase your house value.

If you’re considering adding a custom deck to your home, reach out to HFS Financial for all of your home improvement financing needs. HFS makes it easy to fund your project with minimal documentation requirements, no equity or appraisal needed, and direct-to-consumer funding.

Adding or improving an existing deck can add a number of beneficial features to your home. Not only can a new deck improve the value of your property, but it can also make your home more enjoyable for you and your family.

HFS Financial also offers 120% financing, allowing you some financial wiggle room for those unexpected hiccups that you may find along the way of your deck-building journey. All funds are paid directly to you, the consumer, so there’s no need to coordinate contractor work with payout schedules. Handle your project your way.

Once we’ve received your information through our 60-Second Loan Application, you will be notified of possible loan options quickly to discuss and review your loan terms and the home improvement project you have in mind.

My husband Matt and I [...] have moved away from the home where we had the beautiful deck and outdoor living space you created.  We will forever remember fondly that beautiful deck, and the hard work you did during a very bad economic time to fix problems around the foundation of our home.  Steve, Keith, and all of your workers were fabulous and we sent several of our friends your way with referrals.  We are sure that your deck helped us get a wonderful offer on our home.

We just wanted to tell you how much we enjoy the decks DeckTec constructed at our home. Their use is a constant joy. We continually receive compliments on the design and quality of your work. We look forward to many years of use.

Eric & Gloria, Arvada

DeckTec are absolute pros. They just finished a big deck and roof cover project at my house. The total experience from working with Steve in Design and Sales, Keith in Project Management, and Charlie, Josh, and Hank in Construction was nothing but 6 star service. 100% on time and on budget with craftsmanship and quality. Skip the “Hammer and Nails” contractors and go with DeckTec if you want an “Outdoor Living Space”. Call these people – you will not be disappointed.

I just wanted to let you know how pleased I am with the work Decktec completed refinishing my deck. It hasn’t looked this good since it was new sixteen years ago. Decktec was very professional, polite and willing to work with me to get the exact color of stain I wanted. I would recommend Decktec to anyone who wants a complete job from the great construction work starting the job, to its thorough cleanup. I’m happy my neighbor referred me to Decktec. You are the fourth company I’ve had refinish my deck and will now be the only company I use going forward.
