A little about me
Ever since Wood Shop in elementary school I've enjoyed making stuff, but more practical matters like getting an education and supporting my family steered me towards a career in marketing. After 25 years behind a desk, I decided to refocus on creating tangible things, so I took up construction. Currently, I'm transitioning to less back-breaking projects like live edge tables and wood/resin wall hangings.
What I enjoy most is the process - creative problem solving, learning from my mistakes and being pleasantly surprised when I occasionally make something beautiful.
