About the Studio
Nestled in Missoula, Montana, my workshop hums with the rhythm of a time-honored craft. Through skillful hands, creative joinery and deep intention, I build modern heritage furniture imbued with elegance and animated by life.
My design approach is unique and personal; a story worked in wood, born from a childhood spent in Ohio’s verdant ravines and the boundless skies of my Montana home. Each piece is a collaboration, an intimate conversation between the craftsman and client, woven into a narrative in grain that’s destined to be loved, cared for, and passed down for generations.
Together let's create an heirloom that speaks to your legacy, a reflection of your own unique story with whispers of mountains, forests, rivers and days to come.
ABOUT ME
My journey into woodoworking began with studies in forestry at the University of Montana. I immediately fell in love with the area's vast, dramatic landscapes, and with my passion for rock climbing as a vehicle, I embarked on years of traveling and climbing throughout the western US. To support this, I worked as a carpenter, but not long after found myself seeking deeper engagement in the work and material. As part of the pursuit, I studied at the Center for Furniture Craftsmanship in Maine, and later the College of the Redwoods fine woodworking program in California. Learning the James Krenov way, I delved deep into the art of woodworking, absorbing his teachings and philosophy. Krenov's influence has been instrumental in my evolution as a craftsman and educator. Likewise, my wife, Kelly, has been a continuous source of support and inspiration, always urging me to question what is possible.
