About Me

After 21 years in the Air Force, I traded jet noise for joinery. For the past 15 years, I’ve immersed myself in woodworking from designing to building custom pieces. My work is rooted in midcentury modern aesthetics, but I’m not interested in reproducing catalog pieces. I build one-of-a-kind objects that respond to the character of wood, the laws of physics, and the occasional stubborn grain pattern with equal parts precision and problem -solving.

Every piece I make is a conversation between material and intention; tailored for you. Whether it’s a conversation starting piece or something designed to blend in, I aim for craftsmanship that feels personal and enduring. If you’re looking for furniture that plays like art and functions even better, we’ll probably get along.

There is no cheap particle board or awkward Swedish names here, just solid wood and precise joinery combined to make a timeless heirloom piece, designed with you.

How It Works

Every piece starts as a conversation about how you actually live in and use your space. Browse the gallery for a sense of past work, or head straight to Start Your Project to begin. Questions about process, timelines, or materials are answered on the FAQ page.
