Furniture, Cabinetry,
Built-ins, and Restoration

I am a full-time custom woodworker specializing in high quality furniture and cabinetry. I also perform many of the services associated with these products: repair, refinishing, installation and the construction of custom built-ins and trim-work. In addition, I operate a small sawmill for which I take custom orders. I strive to please the most discerning of clients in everything that I do, and hope that you will find my work to be not only beautiful, but durable and functional as well. 

I am committed to producing products that are fit to be passed on to your grandchildren. To this end I use only the best materials, hardware and joinery techniques. My goal is that you are as excited about each piece 20 years down the road as I was the day I finished making it. 

My background: I was born and raised in Long Lake and, outside of my time in the Army, have lived here my entire life.  Following high school, I was accepted at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, where I graduated with a degree in History. Commissioned as a 2nd Lt. in the Army I was assigned to the Armor branch and stationed with the 1st Armored Division in Germany. From there I was deployed twice to Iraq, where I served as a tank platoon leader in Baghdad and Ramadi. Looking for a change of pace, I transferred to a training unit in Washington State where I was able to operate on a much more relaxed schedule and start my business. I ran the business part-time while I learned the trade, progressing in difficulty as I went along.  In 2008 I met my wife Shelley and in the summer of 2009 we were married and drove cross country to our new life together in Long Lake.

Above all else, I strive to be an honest man and a fair businessman. You can count on me treating you with respect, pricing my work fairly and being upfront with you when you ask for my feedback. If you would like to see pictures of my work, please visit my website or call the shop and we’ll set up a time to meet.  Please leave a message if you don’t get me, I often miss a call (due to shop noise) but always return them promptly.
