I spent four decades as an engineer—long days, detailed plans, and a deep respect for the quiet power of precision. The workshop was always waiting. Today, I work alone on 80 wooded acres in the Missouri Ozarks, building heirloom furniture by hand. No production lines. No shortcuts. Just wood, time, and intention.
I don’t build fast furniture. I build pieces meant to live with you, gather stories, and be passed on. Tables that anchor rooms. Chairs that welcome you in. Each piece is shaped by patience, faith, and an understanding that good things—like good work—take time. It all begins with a conversation.
Every commission begins with a conversation. If you’re considering a custom table, seating, or something more personal, I welcome your inquiry.
I work closely with each client to ensure the result is not only well-made — but deeply meaningful.
