The home improvement expert shared many of his refurbishing and decorating projects on social media before catching the eye of Joanna Gaines in 2015.  

“We just hit it off,” he told People of his bond with the Fixer Upper host in July 2022. “A few weeks later, we developed the show together and we’ve been friends ever since. I feel super lucky.”
