I've always found deep satisfaction in creating things with my hands. That passion started early, inspired by my father, who could build almost anything he needed. Some of my fondest childhood memories are of watching him transform scrap parts, wires, metal, and wood into something incredible—like a magician bringing ideas to life.

From a young age, he instilled in me a love for building. But while that passion was always there, my career took a different path—I spent years behind a computer, programming and problem-solving in the digital world. Even so, my love for hands-on craftsmanship never faded. I worked on small woodworking projects in my free time, but now, I’ve decided it’s time to fully embrace what I love most.

So, I took the leap. I stepped away from the corporate world to pursue woodworking full-time. Risky? Absolutely. But I’m betting on myself—on the passion and skill I’ve been nurturing my whole life.

I love the feel of smooth wood beneath my hands. I love the precision of joining two pieces so seamlessly that they seem meant to be together. I love the challenge of designing unique lines and curves that make each piece special. And the best part? Knowing that something I’ve created will become a part of someone’s home, bringing beauty and function into their everyday life.

Woodworking isn’t just a passion—it’s what drives me. It’s what keeps me up at night, excitedly planning my next build. It’s what makes me truly happy. Simply put: Woodworking is who I am.

I would be honored to create something unique and custom for your home. Let’s build something amazing together!
