Ask my family and they’ll tell you that I go through phases. One month I’m spending all my time wood burning, another month I’m coloring, another month I’m designing with typography, and so it goes. With each of the things I do, I go through phases. I still enjoy each one thoroughly, but sometimes I’m in the […]
What inspires me? This was always the hardest question for me to answer when I was growing up, because, truth be told… nothing inspired me! There I would be, merrily going my own way without a care in the world or thought for the future. But thankfully I can say that is no longer the case. Now […]
My interest in woodworking started when I was a teenager. I had seen how my grandpa and my uncle either restored or fixed furniture and sometimes made their own pieces. It made me want to start learning to do woodworking myself. When I was 16, I took a wood carving class which got me even more interested. […]

In that six-year […]

I have always been told that, when telling a story, the best place to start is at the beginning. So that’s exactly what I’m going to do, take you back to the very beginning… “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” (Genesis 1:1). Okay a little too far back, fast forward several thousand years […]
Where to begin? Let us start at the beginning. I was born and raised in Holland and as a little boy I was always interested in fixing and building things. I remember helping my parents strip wallpaper, seven layers thick, off of walls. Painting is something I always enjoyed as well as building model planes, cars, and […]
