Growing up around my family’s lumberyard business, my love for wood began in my early childhood.  As far back as I can remember, I always had tools in my hand creating one thing or another.  I worked alongside my father while growing up learning construction and eventually fine cabinetry and woodcarving. 
​
I love making a variety of pieces from wood including furniture, wall art and woodcarvings, especially Santa Clauses, which people can treasure for generations to come. 

Since wood is a naturally beautiful material, I create pieces that showcase the magnificence of God’s creation.  The grain of each piece speaks to me as I work to bring out its natural radiance. 
My wife, Lori, and I have lived in Lebanon for 20 years.
