Hello Everyone, my name is Eugene Darco and I am a paint contractor, father, and a man who loves to do projects.  I have been out of school for 8 years and have since fathered 3 children with my lovely partner Sarah.  Since graduating at Portland State University in the Summer of 2005 I have worked a few different jobs, but primarily I have been a painter at Gene Darco Painting.  I have done simple projects such as repainting bedrooms to more complex projects such as setting up the window displays in Louis Vuitton stores.  Now, I am excited to start a new project.  I have signed up for Twitter, Pinterest, and I am using my experience to help others with DIY projects.  Please stay tuned for my .........
