I have spent most of my adult life in the woodworking industry. I started by working evenings in my basement with basic carpentry tools. After an education in Industrial Education, I spent a lot of energy pursuing my passion of building furniture. Many of my formative years were spent building in an industrial setting using solid wood and traditional woodworking practices. I have been fortunate enough to work with some major names in the design/build woodworking industry.

I have been evolving a business of processing locally harvested hardwoods. I am fortunate to live in the Pacific Northwest where wood can be as exciting as the outdoor environment.

My building philosophy is to build solid, heirloom quality furnishings that show off the true beauty of the hardwoods used. I still use traditional woodworking practices and have a love and admiration for the craftspeople that have led the way.
