From a small boy I always loved working with my hands and building things. I built my first boat at the age of 12 and went on to build 3 more boats by the age of 16. I was fascinated by the idea that simple materials could be crafted into the most interesting and useful items. The natural beauty of wood captured me for a life time. I entered DelCastle Vocational in the tenth grade and furthered my passion by entering their carpentry program and for the next 3 years I focused on cabinetmaking. After graduation I continued to refine my skills by working with the prestigious Andrews and Beers for furniture and cabinetmaking. I learned to build reproduction furniture and “one of a kind” designs. I was fortunate to have several pieces displayed around the country from New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Natural History, Lobbies in Washington D.C. and Wilmington Delaware, my home town and private residences as far away a Puerto Rico. I have provided furniture and cabinets for members of the joint chiefs of staff of the USA, Bank executives and the family next door.
