About Me

Hello. My name is Chris.

I’m an energetic, detail-oriented 70-year-old retired guy who loves to create useful things from wood. I'm a very proud husband, father of two and grandfather of four, all smart and beautiful women.  That's a photo of my basement shop shown above.  I’ve been woodworking for more than 50 years.

I have a lot of tools and I know how to use them...in my shop and on-site. I work at a professional level and provide good value. If I can help you, I will. I am respectful of all people and their time. I appreciate the same in return.
 
My experience includes owning six residences and investing in three properties over forty years. I have done the majority of the improvements to these properties myself. I worked for thirty-seven years as a sales & marketing and project management executive throughout the world with thousands of people of various cultures, skin colors, preferences, orientations, faiths and ethnicities, all of which I respect.

I am very fortunate to have a financially solid retirement.  I do not rely on this little side-hustle business to pay my regular bills. I think of it as my self-funding hobby.  I like to work about 15-20 hours per week on average.  I turn jobs down if I get too busy or if I don't like the task involved or if I think I won't be able to do a good job.
