Larry: Project Manager

Larry has a passion for people and for serving those around him. He is a highly motivated leader with many years of experience working in the service and construction industries. His main goal is to provide a meaningful experience for the people he serves and supports.

Larry studied Music and Business at Peru State College in Peru, Nebraska and has enjoyed playing and teaching music in many churches and organizations. Larry also has a diverse background in various aspects of service to local and international communities and has garnered a number of awards doing such work including being selected for Who’s Who in America. He has been a firefighter for rural fire departments, president of art councils, and president of the State of Kansas Odd Fellow Children’s Association to name a few.

Away from work, Larry enjoys watching stock car races as well as football, engaging in metal detecting, and fishing. Larry is married to a wonderful lady from the Philippines and greatly enjoys the time he gets to spend in the Philippines helping school children as well as spending time with friends and family.

Larry’s core values include service, commitment, and loyalty and he is excited to walk alongside the Heritage Handyman team in delivering these values to our clients.

Emily: Office Manager

Emily, Peter’s wife and business cohort, has been a part of our team since the beginning. She manages to maintain a full-time job as a veterinarian here in the Gallatin Valley while helping with various administrative tasks for Heritage Handyman in her time off. 

Emily grew up in the Gallatin Valley where she would eventually attend Montana State University and obtain a degree in Microbiology. She then went on to attend veterinary school in Pullman, Washington where she obtained her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine. After practicing for a couple of years in Helena, MT she is excited to be back home, close to family, friends, and beautiful mountains.

While Emily has a passion for the health and well-being of animals, she also has a passion for interacting and connecting with clients. This motivation has extended over into her role within Heritage Handyman, connecting with business clients and partners alike. Emily enjoys working behind the scenes in various aspects to help keep Heritage Handyman moving.

Peter: Owner

Peter, our founder and fearless leader, is a Montana native hailing from Choteau, MT. He grew up on a Hutterite colony where he learned the value of hard work and versatility. His father was a carpenter, so he gained many valuable insights from a young age in this field. As a general laborer on the colony he also learned numerous different tasks as they related to a mostly self-sufficient way of living. Much of Peter’s business acumen and “out-of-the box” thinking can be attributed to watching his grandfather who founded and ran Montana Eggs, LLC, selling Hutterite eggs to local and national chain grocery stores. Peter’s grandfather started this business venture in Great Falls, MT and it has now become a multi-state operation with clients including Costco, Sam’s Club, and Walmart. 

After leaving the colony and spending many years in sales (from selling cars with Lithia to listing houses as a real estate agent with Keller Williams), Peter decided to leap into business ownership. Heritage Handyman began as Helena Handyman in Helena, MT, and while Helena offered a great community in an up-and-coming area, Peter and his wife, Emily, decided to move to Bozeman to become part of a larger community and to be closer to Emily’s family and homeland. Thanks to our growing clientele, Heritage Handyman has continued to thrive and we look forward to continuing to earn clients for life.
