My journey into fine art began with a deep-rooted passion instilled by my dad. He taught me the value of pursuing dreams relentlessly. My ancestors were boat builders or shipwrights near rock island in Chicago (Article here)
I first gained experience in Boulder, Colorado with a local decor and shade company. Then moved to Burlington, Vermont to learn from masters in the craft of fine woodworking. There I completed a fine woodworking certification program. While attending, I was simultaneously working as a team lead in another decor company.
My wife, two sons, and I now live in Pennsylvania where I became a Certified Master Home Inspector (C.M.I.) while originally building furniture and art only on the side. After absorbing, 8+ years of building science knowledge, I left inspection to pursue my dreams of helping people make beautiful things together. My professional studio is currently in the Pocono mountains near Little Gap, PA (by Blue Mountain Ski Resort)
I have always wanted to make this world of ours an even better place. I contribute to the Arbor Day Foundation as an Oak Society Member.
