I have been designing, woodworking, and creating beautiful casework for over 25 years.  My love for woodworking began when I was in the Air Force, stationed in England.  When I was discharged, I started refinishing furniture in my father's workshop in Illinois. 

     I got my whole family involved in the projects.  My father would help with woodworking, my mother and sisters would help with upholstery and mirror silvering and their spouses would help with installs.   It was a truly inspiring time.  It has grown into my life passion, whether it's a fine antique or a custom studio piece, the craftsmanship is undeniable. The truth in the proportions, the silkiness in the finish is truly inspiring.

​

      I have had the opportunity to work side by side with many great craftsmen and business owners over the past 25 years and look forward to bringing this knowledge and passion to create the dreams our clientele are searching for.  

​

     With the dedication of the Dovetailed team,  I look forward to great things in the years to come.
