About this artist: "One of the best childhood memories I have is going outside to my dad's shop and helping him build one of the many custom wood projects he was working on. At a young age me and my older brother were shown the ropes in the wood shop. My dad could build anything from cabinets, to instruments, rocking horses, even a wooden ship the size of a small bus in our back yard. Anything he wanted to build he would and it would always turn out perfect.
Now I have two young children of my own. I don't think they are quite ready to use the band saw yet, but my wish is to be able to pass onto them the skills my father showed me. Growing up in the northwest has given me a love for natural beauty. I want to bring out the truth in the wood that I work with, not cover it in paint to look like a piece of plastic. Nature has a way of painting that can never be done by a man."
