Summary

After a successful career, helping a local family business grow from 3 locations to 50 locations, I decided it was time to start my own business. One of my passions has always been woodworking and working with my hands.


My woodworking company has been successful and I've met my goals. I have no plans to take it further than I have and it will remain a secondary focus - after I take a role with a company. Im looking for a position to help supplement my income, provide benefits and opportunity for growth. I thoroughly enjoy being part of a team and all of the achievement and camaraderie that provides.
