"Do everything!" That's a tall order, but it is exactly what a factotum is expected to do. It's also a literal translation of the New Latin term factotum, which in turn traces to the Latin words facere ("to do") and totum ("everything"). In the 16th century, factotum was used in English much like a surname, paired with first names to create personalities such as "Johannes Factotum" (literally "John Do-everything"). Back then, it wasn't necessarily desirable to be called a factotum; the term was a synonym of "meddler" or "busybody." Now the word is more often used for a handy, versatile individual responsible for many different tasks.

Hi. I'm Mark Bossenbrook, the Bozeman Factotum.  I've spent my life acquiring skills to help you with your project. From being a carpenter, landscaper, horizontal directional driller, to working as a waiter, and in a bronze foundry, and being a financial advisor, there has been a lesson in all of it. Now I hope to pass along my knowledge, attention to detail, professional service, and honest, good, hard work to you.  

Whether you need a small repair, a fresh coat of paint, or to check off a list of honey-dos, I can deliver professional skills at a fair price. It is my highest priority to get the job done right, on time, and on budget.
