I’m a woodworker and furniture maker in Oakland, CA. I specialize in high-end furniture commissions, interior woodworking projects, detailed garden gates, and other interesting creative wood challenges. I value collaboration and know a piece can only be successful if it meets the user’s needs and expectations, so great communication is critical to a successful project. Working with beautiful wood and using traditional joinery to build lovely objects is a natural outcome of good collaboration and design.

I have been working with wood from a very young age but only recently decided to leave my day job for full-time furniture making. I’ve been an owner of a construction company, a teacher, an IT tech, and have spent the last 20 years developing and building large commercial renewable energy projects. Throughout my various careers, building furniture has been a constant, and I’m excited to focus on my passion to create beautiful objects out of wood that will be appreciated and used with joy.
