The person behind the hammer with a 17-year obsession for all things vertical in home improvement. What started as a weekend hobby has evolved into a full-time pursuit of wall perfection through over 250 completed projects ranging from load-bearing wall installations to intricate textured art walls. I spend at least 10 hours weekly researching emerging construction materials and testing them in real-world applications-my garage has been rebuilt so many times the neighbors have lost count. Before publishing any tutorial, I implement each technique in at least three different settings to ensure reliability across various home environments. My work has been featured in two nationally recognized home improvement publications, and I consult regularly with professional contractors to validate best practices. When a new wall-mounting system or construction technique hits the market, I'm usually the first in line to determine if it deserves a spot in your DIY arsenal. Every recommendation comes from direct experience-including the spectacular failures I document so you can learn from my demolished disasters rather than creating your own.
