About
From history classrooms to rooftops — the long way around.
People say I'm lucky, and maybe they're right. I grew up in Colorado with parents that loved me and encouraged me to learn anything and everything. I took that foundation...and tripped over my own ego in my 20s. It wasn't until my 30s that I started to figure out what life was like. I'm not sure I've figured out even half of it yet.
After successful ventures in restaurants in Denver in the early 2000s, I gave entreprenuership a shot. My brother and I formed a recycling company that we couldn't get off the ground. I formed Holland Web Marketing to middling success. When it was time for a life change, I moved to the St. Louis area to work for a friend in construction, storm damage restoration to be exact.
Through that, I met Pete Fusaro and in 2018 we launched H&F Exteriors. We've seen growth, change, diversification and maturity over the last 8 years. We now employ over 60 strong professionals throughout St. Louis, building projects for clients spanning roofing, siding, windows, decks, gutters, and more.
I met the love of my life, Mallory Arntson, in 2023 and we live together in the Lafayette Square neighborhood of St. Louis with our dog Moxie and two cats, Bubba and Molly. Life is good.

Beyond Work
When I'm not working, I'm either enjoying the cultural resources of St. Louis or traveling the globe. You might catch me at a St. Louis City SC soccer game, a wine tasting at 33 wine bar, a hike in Castlewood State Park, or boarding a plane to Europe and beyond.
