I came to Kansas City after earning a degree in Economics from UW - Madison. My wife and I soon discovered the established neighborhoods and old home charm of Brookside. As the last nail was driven in our first home I was told that our two daughters needed more room to play. So we moved and the whole process started again.

Professionally, I have sold tools and equipment to the rail and electrical power industries since 1984. In 2002, a friend asked if I would make a kitchen cabinet to match their existing cabinets. This was after they had asked for a cubby storage system for backpacks and soccer shoes. Opportunity was knocking, and very soon I was in business.

My skills evolved in the many years I worked on my own homes. It helps that I grew up with an appreciation of the aesthetic and a focused attention to detail. I maintain a professional library (see Links), subscribe to magazines that keep me apprised of new materials & techniques and invest in high quality tools and equipment. All of this helps me to work very efficiently.

One client referred me to his boss and 12 co-workers while another was so thrilled with her bathroom that she sent a most touching Christmas card. It is positive referrals like these and a reputation for responsive craftsmanship that has helped my business grow.
