I've been working with wood professionally since I was a teenager... I'm almost old enough to stop acting like a kid most days. I spent most of my life in and out of construction - new home, remodeling, carpentry, tile, drywall, plumbing, painting, etc. I own a custom woodworking company (it's just me these days). But, I focus on the more creative custom pieces. I build furniture, cabinets and built-ins, do some hand carving. Can't think of too many things I've said no to yet. I have a fine arts, photography and music background as well. It's usually more about being creative and enjoying the whole process from design to completion, than anything else for me.

I was born and raised in Virginia, but recently transplanted to Southern California. Been an interesting transition. I'm mostly surprised about things I can't find in the hardware store, I took for granted. But, the weather's spectacular! The big bonus is that I am closer to my Grandchildren. But, the weather is a real bonus. LOL

I love talking music, Blues specifically, cigars, and woodworking/carpentry more than most folks should. But, don't let that stop you.
