I immediately had my – he had my interest, and he said, being a contractor, would you be willing to come out and do a property inspection for us?

There's an old ranch house there.

There's a modular home that's sitting there.

And we just don't have any idea what kind of condition everything is in.

So I went and did a property inspection for them.

We found the property to be in a state of disrepair.

It appears that Mr. Bigelow had not spent any money on it for several years and had let it kind of fall into disrepair.

And so I immediately made a list up and Brandon asked me to go in and start to fix things and upgrade things.

And after about a month, four or five weeks, I hit it off with Brandon instantly.

We have a lot in common.

He asked me if I would stay on and be the superintendent of the ranch and just kind of oversee it where I live close.

You know, a lot of the ranch team lives out in Salt Lake area, which is a couple hours away.

And so because of my close proximity and because of my background in construction, it kind of made it a perfect position for me.

And so I oversee all of the facilities.

I've upgraded it.

The command center, the control room that you see with all the TVs on the show, that was Eric Bard and I designed that together.

And then I built that facility.

and, uh, did all the construction on it.

And so the, the helipad, um, we've upgraded a lot of the facilities.

The front gate has been upgraded.
