I grew up watching the Woodwright Shop and This Old House. One of my first big woodworking projects as a kid was building a 15 foot sailboat. Over the years, I've done a lot of remodeling work on the homes I've lived in. I've also built some timber frame projects and have a dream of building a retirement home.

I make my living as a research scientist, but have enjoyed woodworking and building things my whole life. I have always been fascinated by how things work, and inspired by the artists, craftsmen, and craftswomen who make beautiful and functional objects from wood, metal, and other media. I’m always impressed when things are made with only human-powered tools, but I do not shy away from the use of modern power tools either.
