Max has been doing some type of construction work since he was old enough to walk. Starting out sweeping the floors every day at his grandfather’s custom cabinet shop when he was only knee high, he quickly gained the knowledge and yearning to be creative every day. Working with his hands runs in the family, with a machinist dad, florist mom, and interior designer sister. His hands-on skills were honed at Penn State learning Historic Preservation and Restoration, which was his profession for over 10 years. Max’s creativeness also caused him to travel all over the country, living in Virginia, Hawaii and Southern California, only to find him returning to his home town in the South Hills of Pittsburgh and living 100 yards from the house he grew up in. He has spent his time building furniture, creating artwork, renovating homes, running art galleries, buying and selling antiques and so much more. Recently finding a place within McQueen Building Company allows him to use his skills to the fullest and create new, amazing spaces for homeowners. When not renovating his own home, Max enjoys waking up early for flea markets and estate sales, spending time with his wife, Stephanie and his beagle, Hula, and making and enjoying proper Tiki cocktails.

I started in construction when I was thirteen and knew from then on out I wanted to work with my hands. I am thankful to have three older brothers and countless family members in construction to help guide and teach me over the years. Each day I can confidently say I learn something new about carpentry and building in general. A great carpenter I knew once told me if I am not learning constantly then I cannot call myself a carpenter, so I took that advice to heart.
There is no better feeling than building or creating something from scratch and seeing a happy customer's face. I take pride in my work and am always striving to learn more. I can confidently attach my name to anything I’ve built over the years but I cannot consider the job done until the customer is satisfied and I am proud of what was accomplished.

My father, grandfather and great grandfather were all machinists. Some of my earliest memories were in the garage or a junkyard with my dad. He always had a wrecked Corvette or Hot Rod in the garage, and still does. My mom was an interior decorator. I was drawn to construction and renovations and started doing my own personal projects over 20 years ago. I have been incredibly blessed to be able to do what I love in places like Alaska, Hawaii, Long Island, and Budapest. I am an architectural nerd. I am enthusiastic about historic elements, environmentally friendly building practices, repurposing, and mastering new skills. Pittsburgh will always be home.
