ROTATION SCHEDULE

    Working with wood has been a lifelong pursuit which started at a very young age when my Dad, who owned a custom cabinet business, handed me a broom and said “sweep”.  After this simple beginning he taught me to appreciate the beauty and flexibility of wood as a design medium while I learned the fundamentals of cabinet construction and safely using woodworking tools.  This interest in woodworking continued into adulthood with a focus on furniture design as a hobby.  After over 30 years of making furniture, I discovered a new artistic expression through woodturning.  That was 7 years ago and l never looked back.   Being able to combine my interest in precision woodworking with my full time career in product design, and my newly found interest in woodturning has created the perfect storm that resulted in a fascination with segmented design.  In recent years, my interest in natural forms and textures is transforming my design approach by combining classical segmented construction with carving, burning, and painting to create unique organic styles.  Sharing this interest with others brings additional rewards.  My life is fulfilled thanks to my wife Brenda who puts up with constant sawdust in the house, my two daughters who happily take anything I make, and 5 wonderful grandchildren.
