Prospect neighbor, Todd Cissell, enjoyed a long manufacturing career before retiring early to serve his local neighbors as the Owner of Handy Home Repair.  A master electrician by trade – yet a “jack of all trades” too – Todd helps neighbors with a variety of home repairs. It is not uncommon for him to fix a garbage disposal, hang a television, install a new light switch, and fix a squeaky door all in a day!

After two decades at Jim Beam, followed by a quick climb up the corporate ladder at multiple Fortune-500 manufacturing plants after that, Todd checked off every career goal on his career bucket list, along with maintaining his own rental property portfolio.  Then, during the pandemic in 2020, he noticed a neighbor on the Next Door app posting for help hanging a ceiling fan.  With nothing much else to do in the evenings during the pandemic, Todd drove down the street to help her, and Handy Home Repair was born!  Only one year later, Todd retired early to concentrate on Handy Home Repair “full-time.”

Todd uses air quotes around full-time, because he also spends about three months a year travelling the world with his wife, Tammy, who owns travel agency, Tammy Vacays. The couple’s 2026 travel goals are to finish visiting all 50 states, and they are close! They will be doing an Alaskan cruise in August to hit their 49th state visited. They also just did a fantastic vacation to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, and are doing a Princess cruise this spring.

So if you need help at home with that never-ending list of home repair projects, all you need to do is text Todd. He will be in touch with you within the day and is very upfront about his costs and scheduling.  He prides himself on showing up when he says he is showing up! He is also fully insured and is a proud member of the Prospect Chamber of Commerce.
