Woodworking is my escape.
For 25 years I worked in emergency medicine — fast decisions, no room for error, rarely a moment to breathe. The woodshop is the opposite of all that, and that's exactly why I love it. I work alone, out of my garage in South Florida, and there's no rush.
Shapes and curves matter a lot to me. I'm drawn to pieces that feel forward-looking — clean, organic forms, nothing unnecessary. I build with traditional joinery wherever the piece allows — no screws if I can help it.
My favorite way to start a new piece is with two questions: what purpose will it serve, and where is it going to live? The answers drive everything — the height, the proportions, the species, the form. I don't work from a catalog. I work from the space.
I'm always developing new designs and learning new techniques. I take on a limited number of commissions each year alongside a small collection of finished pieces. If you have something in mind, reach out.
Share dimensions, wood preference, and how the piece will be used. A rough sketch or photo reference helps, but it's not required.
I'll follow up with a quote, timeline, and any design questions. Most commissions start as a conversation, not a spec sheet.
