With twenty five years working in the building trades, Mairtin’s passion for carpentry stems from his childhood in the West of Ireland. Growing up watching his master carpenter father fueled a desire to follow in his footsteps, so he began training under his father. As a mentor, his father provided Mairtin with a solid foundation as well as a uniquely practical approach to construction.
After completing a four year apprenticeship in Ireland, Mairtin moved to San Francisco and began working on building sites, quickly becoming a job foreman. This experience helped him start his own contracting business, Ideal Builders in 2015.
