About Us

How I can help you: I enjoy the creative process and learning from others.  I am a great team player and can bring ideas to the table (or any other type of furniture you may need) that you may not have considered.  Even when things are difficult I always have a positive attitude and am ready to roll up my sleeves accomplish our project with you.

Why: I have always been a creative person.  Art, writing, photography, and woodworking are things that I have often applied myself to while journeying through life.  I enjoy trying new things often.  When given the opportunity to do something or hire someone else to do it, I do research, learn and jump in with both feet.  Once I rebuilt the carburetor for my 1966 Mustang convertible in my dorm room. 

What: In my first few decades so far I have done quite a few things:

• Avid reader as a child, read nearly every book in the library on a subject before moving to the next
• Earned my Eagle Scout Badge
• Sang in the Grand Ole Opry at the Country Music Awards
• Learned to fly gliders and single engine planes
• Became a shooting instructor
• Graduated from the United States Air Force Academy
• Kept the Stealth Fighter F-117 flying
• Became a Husband
• Became a father x 3
• Taught ROTC at Southern Illinois University
• Earned my MBA
• Worked on a Navy Three Star Admiral’s staff in Washington D.C.
• Cubmaster for my son with a new theme for each monthly meeting
• Deployed to Iraq three times, twice as an Advisor helping the Iraqi military grow
• Ran two top secret programs (I would tell you but, I’d have to x you)
• Learned photography and had work published in a national magazine

In addition to the afore-mentioned things, I have been woodworking since I was in grade school when Mr. Terwilliger taught me to make a wood lamp.  The military has one rule that is true of all services; you go where your Uncle Sam tells you.  For me, that meant moving every three years for a total of 7 moves.  With each move there was something else that needed to be built or changed in my home.  Little by little I have added skills and tools.
