My Story

Growing Up

I was born in Gainesville, GA into a family of 12 Kids. My parents had six boys and six girls, and I was born number 6 right in the middle.

We grew up on a small 8-acre farm where we had horses, cows, dogs, cats, and chickens. We were all homeschooled by our Mom who used to be a high school math teacher.

Getting into construction

I first got into construction when I was about 13 when our Dad hired a crew to come build a deck for us. They let us boys help them and taught us a lot about framing and building decks.

That’s what really got me started building things around the farm and fixing anything I could in the house.

My Dad owns a retail fixture installation and construction company called Prime Retail Services.

So by the time I was 16, I was working in the Summers on crews putting together the insides of new Walmart stores across the country.

Throughout my high school years I did fixture install/remodel projects for Prime in Walmart, Target, Kohl’s, Academy Sports, Dollar Tree, Sherwin Williams, and PetSmart stores all over the country.

After High School

After I graduated high school at 18, I led my first crew on a Summer-long Target Store remodel project.

For the next year or so a couple of my brothers and I traveled around assembling and installing Panel Built Modular Offices, Mezzanines, Exterior Stairways, and Guard Shacks in Military Bases and Warehouses around the Southeast.

The last couple Summers I’ve led a crew installing new Sephora Makeup stores into existing Kohl’s stores around the Southeast as well.

Kore Handyman Services

Traveling around doing Commercial/Retail  work is fine, albeit Handyman Work and Residential Renovations and Additions is my true passion.

I’m glad for the experience I gained doing Commercial /Retail projects, but building exterior structures like Decks, Pergolas, Etc and doing interior repairs, maintenance, and remodels are what I really enjoy doing.

So in the Fall of 2021 I started Kore Services LLC (DBA: Kore Handyman Services).

My Family

In January of 2022 I married the love of my life and my best friend, Sharon.

We have been married for over 2 years now, and are blessed to have a beautiful little girl: Karah Violet Bloom.
