In 1986, Andy Hoffman quit an engineering job, declined acceptances for graduate school at Harvard and Berkeley and accepted a carpenters job in Nantucket. Unbeknownst to him, he had entered the world of highend custom building. Within four years, he was supervising the construction of a 29,000 squarefoot mansion on a 180acre estate in Fairfield County Connecticut. This is a book about his personal and professional growth along that journey, from apprentice to builder through the tutelage of a seasoned and hardnosed builder. It describes how uniquely highend homes are built for select clients, a glimpse into the lives of the bluecollar workers, architects, engineers and clients that come together to make these projects a reality. At its core, this is a comingofage story, a celebration of the pursuit of creative impulses and a story about defying the rules and finding a personal calling in life.
