I would call my self a self-taught hobbyist/DIY woodworker. I did have shop class beginning in the 7th grade and continued through high school, but I was never much of a student so I never really applied myself to actually learning what was being taught. My teachers did instill in me the importance of shop safety so I do thank them for that.

I bought my first table saw back in '99 (which I still have) and although I have been wanting to get serious about making furniture, for the most part most of my projects were of the home improvement type. Now that most of the upgrades we want to do to our home are completed, I have plans to design and build a complete set of bedroom furniture for the wife and I. Next up though is an addition to our garage for dedicated shop space and most importantly HEAT.

My other interests include hunting and fishing, and traveling with my family.
