Church in Kaustinen, Finland. My ancestors built the church in the 1770’s. My ancestral family was famous in Finland and built about 30 churches and multiple bridges in Finland from 1770 to 1800.

All of the Paradise Unified School District projects. It’s truly an honor to be part of the team that is rebuilding the community after the devastating Camp Fire.
