Our story
My story starts in Lancaster, PA where I was born and raised. Growing up, my dad was a dedicated painter. After working for a local company for some years, he was given the opportunity to purchase the company from the owner which he gladly did. I grew up tagging along with my dad on his projects and helping him with the odds-and-ends things at his jobs which I would say began my passion for painting.
After graduating high school, I felt called to explore the west. I bought a camper, packed my bags, and headed out west with no destination other than seeing what the Lord had planned for me along my journey. I eventually landed in the Montana/Wyoming area and fell in love with the mid-west. After hearing my dad talk about how much he loved it out here growing up, I could definitely see why. I ended up going to welding school in Cody, Wyoming and upon graduation returned home to be with my family. Once I got home, I started a welding job and while I loved the artistry involved, I realized my true passion remained with painting.
Around this time, my dad’s painting business was growing rapidly, earning a reputation as one of the highest-quality and affordable professional painting companies in the area. I decided to leave welding behind and join my brother in helping my dad with our family business, which was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.
Working alongside my dad (and brother) on a variety of projects from high-end jobs to ordinary residential buildings taught me many lessons about hard work and craftsmanship. His dedication and skill set the example of how to run a successful, people-centered business which I am deeply grateful for and strive to do myself.
In 2023, Last Frontier Painting Co was founded! After years of working under my dad, I decided to challenge myself in starting my own painting company and take on projects of my own. Now, my dad is looking to take a step back from managing his own company and he and my bother help me with projects for mine.
Recently in the spring of 2024, my family made the long-awaited move to Livingston, MT to follow our dreams of living in the area we have all come to admire and appreciate. I feel so blessed to have a job that I am truly passionate about and to be able to use my gifts to serve and bless others. Thank you for considering us for your painting needs. We look forward to bringing your vision to life with the same dedication and craftsmanship that has defined our work for years.
