It all started when my parents gifted me a Home Depot toolbox at the age of three, and I haven't stopped taking things apart and putting them back together since.

My grandfathers were tradesmen, one a furnituremaker and the other a mechanic, my father is a furnituremaker, and I practically grew up in the shop.

So it’s no wonder that during my breaks from college, I decided to work with my father in the shop and that when starting Grad school, I started full-time.

Upon graduating, I realized that I had an opportunity, to commit my life to not only furthering my family’s pedigree as makers, but to keep the trade I grew up around alive and well into the next generation.

Making isn’t just a career for me, it’s a passion.
