It has been more than 25 years that I've worked wood in one form or another. I worked first as a carpenter, home builder, creator of school and children's play structures, then as a custom cabinetmaker, architectural millworker, and I acquired furniture commissions along the way. I find that making furniture has become the work I enjoy most. In my woodworking odyssey, this new passion has refocused the direction of my business. 

       Since 1993, my shop has been located in a vintage 1920s Medford furniture factory, well-suited for craftspeople with its high ceilings, large elevators, and tall windows. Down the hall I can talk with other wood workers, ceramics and stain glass artists, musical instrument makers, sculptors, and fine arts conservators. In this supportive and stimulating environment I have been able to grow both as a craftsman and as an artist. 

     Now my primary focus is working on made to order furniture. The architectural forms and images I have worked with in past years now influence my ideas for the numerous pieces I design. I bring a depth of experience working with architects, designers and private clients, delivering creative, quality workmanship within a wide range of styles. I am thoroughly enjoying both the collaborative efforts with my clients as well as the opportunity to develop unique ideas, stimulated by the materials as well as my own creative inspiration. I am challenged by the myriad opportunities offered by working with solid wood slabs as well as figured and exotic veneers. The integrity of the work comes from giving my full attention to each job from design to finish.

     If you already have a concept or just a need for a particular piece of furniture, I can work with you to craft a custom commissioned piece that incorporates your ideas and desires and brings my knowledge of materials and resources together to make something that's both pleasing and unique. Alternatively there may be a design in my portfolio that grabs your attention, a studio made piece that could be a stunning addition to your home.
