About me

After over a decade in the northwest, I'm back to my Midwest roots—wholesome, reliable, and resilient. I thrive on creative projects and love the outdoors. As a seasoned designer and life enthusiast, I value fun and humanity above all.

I’m passionate about traveling, exploring new places, and soaking in the beauty of national parks. Family is everything to me, and I believe in creating memories while embracing the adventure of the unknown.

I used to live two lives—by day, a designer, and by night, a professional woodworker. I sacrificed a lot to pursue a hands-on education in woodworking, eventually finding a deep passion for teaching at a local shop and selling my creations at markets. Both worlds taught me invaluable lessons in craftsmanship, creativity, and the joy of working with my hands.

Thank you for visiting and getting to know me. Contact me with my dream job.
