While my father was musically gifted, he lacked that handyman quality homeowners tend to need. I was lucky enough to have my father, who recognized my inherent talent, and by the age of thirteen, I had my very own table saw.

At a young age I was able to stay home when the plumber or electrician did work on the house so that I could learn with them. I built my shop at the age 16, when I sold tools for Sears and had the woodshop, men three times my age, only dreamt of.

Today, after years of build new homes, rebuilding homes that had been damaged by fire, hale, or water, I’m wanting to return to working with my heads.
