My heritage begins with my last name WEST born and raised right here in Huntsville, Alabama. Following in my father's footsteps (Chester West) my education started at the end of a shovel, a hammer and a tape measure. My classroom was in the heat, cold, sawdust and dirt. My teacher is a master at his craft and expected more from this student than anyone else. 

I'm proud to say that I worked with my father for ten years. In that ten years the experience from steep mountainside highly complex architectural homes, to offices built all across this city. Including even the intricacies of a large restaurant to a full service bank still active on University Drive near Mid-City. So even though I wasn't schooled by a college education, my degree was much tougher to acquire and I wouldn't have changed a thing.

I built upon that foundation and went out on my own in the late 1980's. I have designed and built since that time new homes, remodels or created additions to hundred's of homes and commercial buildings in our community.  From offices, another restaurant, a neighborhood grocery market to the complexity of a highly technical surgical animal hospital we've experienced it.

So I can clearly say, "I'm always up for a challenge!" Mike
