Creating pieces that last for generations

After decades in the transportation and emergency services industry—and a lifetime in a family business—I made a life-changing decision to follow a passion for woodworking.

The turning point came after losing a close friend in 2024. It was a reminder that time is limited, and meaningful work matters. At 45, I stepped into a new path—one focused on building, creating, and teaching.
