After 35 years of teaching for Bismarck Public Schools, I wanted to transition woodworking from a hobby to a business. I have been working with wood since 1968, being a third generation woodworker. I was exposed to woodworking at a young age. Both my father and grandfather built cabinets and furniture for our homes and others. I started this as something to fill my time as I retired. I retired May of 2022, and for the last 5 years I have been creating with wood for other people.
