Who's L?

 

 

 

Some say I was born with a hammer in my hand. 

 

Others disagree, and say it was a framing nailer.

 

The truth is, I love both.

 

 

 

Hello, my name is L.

 

(short for Leland, but no one calls me that)

 

I grew up doing property management and maintenance as a family business. 

 

When I was a kid, I would ride around with my father in an old milk truck full of tools and help maintain and improve properties that he started buying.

 

After graduating high school, I did all kinds of wild and fun things.

 

I went to West Point and Stanford, where I earned an Honors Degree in Interdisciplinary Humanities.  I became a preschool teacher and professional writer.  I lived and traveled in China for a year, and eventually became a monk for 3 years under a Chinese Qi Gong Master.

 

In 2010, I started my General Contracting company (Good Help Now) in San Francisco. Eventually I moved to Seattle, Washingon, where I grew the company, hired employees and subcontractors, and won 3 awards.

 

In the summer of 2017, I packed everything I owned into my beloved service van ("Johnny") and drove over a thousand miles down the Pacific Coast to sunny Southern California, and eventually made my way to Santa Barbara.

 

I spent some time professionally coaching/consulting and became COO of a couple different companies, before deciding to focus on my own property management business.

 

I love helping property owners maximize their investment and still love swinging a hammer (or nail gun) when needed.
