Our Story

Hello my name is Warren Sanford and we moved to Long Meadow Farms in 2014. We moved from Texas to Nevada to Florida and now back in Texas. I was an IT consultant for many years and have since “retired” from doing that job. I have always been a tinkerer and fix-it person. I love to do projects. Over the past couple of years my neighbors asked if I could assist with their projects as they did not have the time or maybe the know how to do the job. From there me becoming a handyman has grown organically through the neighborhood. I am very thankful for them posting my name on Facebook and how I helped. And it just grew from there. I love working around the neighborhood helping my neighbors. My interest in projects came from my father. He always had a side business, outside his career and as an Electrical Engineer, for prototyping both electrical and mechanical devices. He would help people develop their ideas into reality and then help them receive a patent or get them approved with the FCC or UL. Seeing this process firsthand made me curious and want to know how things worked. As I got older I became part of the process and helped my father with the projects. There I learned many disciplines, such as metal and wood working, wiring, automotive/motorcycle repair, small engine repair, even steam engines. As well as audio & visual, networking, computer repair, application support, etc. I was lucky enough to have access, as a teenager, to a full machine shop as well as electronics testing equipment. I think everyone one of my buddies brought their cars to our house for one reason or another, everything from an engine swap to installing a thumping stereo system. Around the neighborhood we were known as “Sanford and Son” (some of you will get that). If something needed some sort of repair or fixing everyone would bring it to us. As I entered college at Texas Tech I studied architecture at first, but became more interested in mechanical engineering. I was not so much on how it “looked” I wanted to know how to build it and make it stand. While in college I worked for my brother-in-law who is a general contractor building custom homes. I also worked with the trades doing everything from building cabinets, running electric, digging ditches for plumbing, and even landscaping. I even sprayed hydro-mulch. You name it, I did it! After college my first real job I worked for Tandy Electronics in the New Products Engineering Group, building prototype computers. After a few years I moved into the Management Information Services (MIS) which in this roll I was supporting production information on a mainframe, this discipline morphed into what we know as “IT” today. After that I was offered to work for an IT consulting company where I worked at Bell Helicopter, Trinity Steel, Rosewood Properties, The Associates (which is now CitiCorp) and a few other Fortune 500 companies. And finally ending up at Gartner (world’s largest subscription based IT and Business consulting service). Where I was part of the Executive Programs group supporting C-Level and SVP’s of IT for major corporations in all facets of business, but specializing in Oil/Gas and Energy sector. My roll was helping them save time, money, and effort as well as assisting them professional and personally to advance their career forward by advising them of new technologies and business methods of IT management. In each of these rolls I was faced with new challenges that needed a resolution. So this leads us back to today. My wife travels for her career and we are trying to raise a twelve-year-old daughter. We decided that the time and money spent traveling to and from work and picking her up late at after-school each day was offset by us being home for her as I do odd jobs around the neighborhood.
