About Me

This saying has become something of a personal philosophy for me and speaks to my capacity as a collaborator as well as a creator.

My love of woodworking began in childhood when I’d shape and sand small pieces of wood on the concrete sidewalks of my native Manhattan. Working with wood connected me to nature amidst a busy city. With time, I honed my skills in all areas of building & furniture. Even with 25+ years of experience, it’s still fascinating to me that a rough-textured tree can turn into a smooth and artistic piece of wood that invites peace and warmth if done right.

I am based in Albany, California, serving the San Francisco Bay area & beyond.
