Lead Carpenter / Deck & Framing Specialist
Aaron is a lifelong Kansas City native and Oak Park High School graduate who brings decades of hands-on trade experience to Creative Concepts & Design. After finishing the Building Trades program in Kansas City in 1998, he cut his teeth working for a residential framing crew — learning the ropes, mastering the craft, and proving day in and day out that quality and integrity matter.
In just three years, Aaron launched his own construction company. Over time he led multiple crews of more than 30 employees, building everything from modest 1,500 sq ft starter homes, to expansive 11,000 sq ft custom homes, and even large multifamily housing projects. That breadth and depth of experience — from foundation to finishing touches — bring a unique perspective and unmatched framing expertise to every deck or structure he builds.
At Creative Concepts & Design, Aaron applies that same commitment to craftsmanship, precision, and structural integrity to every deck, pergola, or outdoor build. He understands that when you call us, you’re trusting us with your home — and he treats each project as if he were building it for his own family.

With Aaron on your project, you get more than a carpenter — you get a seasoned builder who cares about quality, durability, and creating outdoor spaces that stand the test of time.
