Woodworking is a fascinating endeavor. I’ve been a woodworker for over 50 years but a serious woodworker for the last 20 years. My work includes functional household items like tables, desks, shelves, bowls, jewelry boxes to more artful, but useful items like pet urns, plates, and wall hangings. To support the art of woodworking I am on the board of four woodworking organizations that focus on education, safety, and the promotion of the art.

Guild of Oregon Woodworkers – Treasurer for 6 years, President for 2 years, Communication Director for 2 years, and current Webmaster
Northwest Woodturners –Current President and Webmaster, past Treasurer and Secretary.
Oregon Carvers Guild – Formed in 2019 as the previous club was disbanded. I am Vice President and Webmaster.
Gathering of the Guilds – This annual show draws up to 18,000 people with over 300 artists. I was President for 5 years, and then formed an LLC to run the show. Roles include Treasurer and Secretary.
