Welcome to my shop!

I was first exposed to woodworking as a child. Both my grandfather and father would build things, allowing me to “supervise” or, occasionally, even help out! Over time, other activities monopolized my free-time and I lost some interest in the hobby. Time passed, and eventually my wife was pregnant with our first child and my first instinct was that I wanted to build something for her to cherish for a lifetime. From there, I was re-addicted to the hobby, and started developing a lot of skills.

At this point, my shop is a healthy mix of power tools and handtools, lending a very unique touch to the pieces I design and build.

Let’s get personal

Woodworking is not my full-time job, but it is a passion! My actual job is in the semiconductor industry designing really tiny electronic circuits built on silicon crystals (aka Analog IC Design), and I have a Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering that helped jump-start this career. If you’re interested in more, I have another site that chronicles my random career-related musings here.

I live just outside of Rochester, NY and originally grew up outside of Buffalo, NY… so I am a Western New Yorker, born and bred. As painful as it can be at times, I am a huge Buffalo Sabres fan (and hockey fan in general) and, of course, love the Bills. I’m also very big into music with a range of interests (and have been playing the guitar for over 20 years).
