He always wanted to build things and be somewhat creative, so his insterest turned to cabinet and furniture making. After purchasing tool and making space for a shop, he started making furniture. Although satisfying, he realized the artistic part was missing. Talking to a friend who is a shop instructor, he was told of a woodcarving club. He soon found the artistic release he needed. Becasue of his love for the artform, he looks forward to helping others get started an hope to pursue a career in the art of wood sculpture.
