Summary

Im 34 years old and i am a 3rd generation carpenter. It is in my blood and i have a true love and passion for it. I have been on job sites for my entire life, as a kid with my dad on his jobs and at home always wanting to help and learn. i have 18 + years of experience in all aspects of carpentry and building. even working full time i would always take on side work after work or on weekends. I wanted the challenge of working alone and gaining as much knowledge and experience as i could, just much as the extra money. I have excelled in this field and love challenging technical work. the more intricate the better. I have a small woodshop at my house and spend alot of time in there. I love turning bowls on my lathe, making end grain cutting boards and bandsaw boxes. I own every tool i would need to do any task a carpenter could be given and a truck and trailer to haul it all around.
