I worked in my dads cabinet shop that he started in 1982. His shop was Custom Wood Fixtures. I ran the shop from 1993-2009. My cousin Brian worked for us and is now my current employer at Elite Woodworks Inc. We did jobs for Calvin Utila, Bill Liedle, RSV Constructuon, and many more custom builders. Experience in auto finishing, staining, lacquer finishes, Polane, airless, HVLP, gravity feed, plastic plam, installation, cutting, assembly, layouts, customer interaction, spray booths, OSHA experience, pla, shaping, door building and machining, delivery, all small tools including routers, staple guns, drills, chop saws, and more than i can list. I worked for Roofline Supply in 2010 when dad's shop slowed. There I gained fork lift experience. There is nothing i can't do in a shop. We were a competitor of DeWills for years. Would Love to join your team. Im picky, want perfection, and the finish product is a reflection on me.
