I was born and raised in Fort Collins, Colorado. While still in my early teens, I started working for my dad who owned a lumber and fence company, I think that is where my spark of woodworking started.
After high school, I was accepted to, and graduated from Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design with a BA in Commercial Art Design.
After college, I apprenticed at a design firm in Denver and soon found out that I disliked working in an office.
I then decided to take up an offer to move to California to work in the musical touring industry as a lighting technician traveling all over the world with top name bands.
I eventually worked my way up in the ranks and started designing and directing the lighting systems for the bands that I toured with for over 25 years. During those times, I married and moved to Maryland, always buying a piece of wood working equipment whenever I was home and working on various projects that honed my skill.
In 2012 I stopped touring and took a job designing lighting systems for the major car shows in various cities across the country, which allowed me more time at home and more time to do the thing I am passionate about...woodworking.

"When you buy a piece from me, you’re buying more than an object. You’re buying hundreds of hours of errors and experimentation. You’re buying years of frustration and moments of pure joy. You’re buying a piece of my woodworking passion!"
