A little about me
I've taken a rather roundabout path to building. 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.
My work is built on this foundation: a lifelong joy of working with my hands, the understanding that the customer always comes first, and a natural curiosity and desire to learn. I take pride in what I do and I will never sacrifice quality for expedience.
