As an atypical Georgia boy I was born in Ben Hill, Ga and then raised in Buford running around the lake. I then had the luck to venture into the mountains before I headed off to college where I learned to multi-task, prioritize, and stock up on student loans. Growing up I was raised in the construction environment where I had the chance to play with equipment, materials and tools on the job site from an early age. I felt right at home with power tools in my hands and quickly learned the value of “measure twice & cut once”. The love I developed for building with my hands and making items better only grew stronger as I aged.

Loving how life changes and never remains constant I have always valued the ability to adapt and change as needed. This is something that I bring to my craft of working with wood. Every stage brings me joy from the planning stage to the finishing stage and with all the problem solving that takes place in between. Nothing is more satisfying then being able to stand back and admire all the hard work, patience, and planning once a project becomes complete - true joy.

I am a true believer in hard, honest work and starting my own woodworking business is my way of earning an honest living in order to help provide for my family. That is why I would love the opportunity to earn your respect and then in turn hopefully earn your business.

Maybe we can start off small, maybe a wine bottle holder or something (perhaps a cornhole board), who knows and then we can work our way up to something along the lines of a dinning room table - just let me know.

I am just a Hood with wood and looking forward to doing something for you.
