TOA CONSTRUCTION - Key Persons
Gus began his career in construction when he was sixteen years old in his home country, New Zealand, with an aggressive four year apprenticeship that focused on all aspects of both commercial and residential construction - building "from the ground up" as he likes to say. He used his acquired knowledge to pursue building as a career in the many countries in which he's resided since adolescence: New Zealand, England, Sweden, and the United States. Gus moved to Santa Barbara, California in 2007, where he currently resides. In Santa Barbara he's had a range of building work, including managing the construction of 100+ unit apartment complexes, to renovating kitchens and bathrooms, and even small jobs as well such as installing doors.
Lover of surf, golf, camping, hiking, biking, and the great outdoors in general, Gus is simply one of those all around fun guys to be around.
