Hero History
While gorging … er, enjoying … gourmet burgers at their favorite haunt,
The Works,
one evening, Andre and his adoring Maria were knocking around ideas for what Andre could call a business that would capture all his ideas and passions. “Hero For Hire” was born because that’s really what Andre is: a smart guy with big muscles and a deep-rooted need to help others.
A year later, André’s thoughtful cousin and business partner, Frank, decided it was high time to make
Hero For Hire truly official – with a website. Frank’s entrepreneurship, combined with Maria’s marketing/writing talents and the web skills of
Gisèle Andrews resulted in the
Hero For Hire website.

Today,
Hero For Hire
is an umbrella
for Andre’s main endeavours, which include:
|
- Helping people to realize and build the home of their dreams – even when budget is tight. He does this through
Maison Paragon Homes.
Learn more in the
Building With Wood section of this site.
- Helping businesses – in particular small businesses – to apply big-business know-how to their operations. Some of this work is provided through Maria’s business,
Kaszas Communications. Learn more in the
Small Business Basics section of this site.
- Designing and making beautiful wood carvings and furniture for friends, family and commissions. See some of his work in the
Woodworking Gallery.

Circa 1970, it’s not surprising that our Hero (foreground) was once a Boy Scout
