Who am I? Good question. I ask myself this pretty much every day. Simply put, I'm a guy who likes the practical side of life. I prefer work that entails me solving a problem, whether it be practically, technically or aesthetically derived. I don't just want to make something, I want to make something that lasts, uses a minimal about of materials and fulfills a real need. I'm not into knick-knacks. I like those little challenges that keep me on my toes. The little ones keep me ready for those of the larger variety. I enjoy the quiet, focused structure of my woodshop, but I also thrive on getting down and dirty under the hot sun. I like to over-think a project's requirements and then over-work myself to get that project done right. I am skilled in Natural Building, General Construction and Finish Carpentry. I have worked on the construction of a new large hybrid (traditional construction w/ natural earthen materials) home in Northern California. I have designed and built fences, decks, patios, furniture, doors, cabinetry and custom pieces. I'm also good for repair work and general handyman kinda stuff. I reside in Mendocino County outside the town of Boonville where I am a part of an intentional community called Emerald Earth. At Emerald Earth we practice and teach sustainable living skills such as organic gardening, permaculture, herbal medicine, natural building, and home power generation.
