How does the city inspire or influence your work?
"Most people I meet have 50 hobbies that all seem to involve creating, whether it's cooking, printmaking, music, or building. I've always had that itch, and the city really fosters that sense of community, and it welcomes the idea of doing it yourself."

What other woodworkers or artists do you look up to?
"You'll laugh at this, but I worship at the feet of Norm Abram from New Yankee Workshop. In S.F., I'm very much in love with Jared Rusten's pieces, Reason furniture, and Woodshop."

How would you describe your style?
"I joke with my girlfriend about this, but we call it lumberjack chic or if you're into the whole brevity thing, Lumberchic. I like durable and practical items that will never look out of place."

Who are your style icons?
"The cast of Slapshot, Hank Williams, Gram Parsons, and Alain Delon."

Where do you shop?
"Levi's, Wasteland, Held Over, Welcome Stranger, Unionmade, Seedstore, Grayers, J.Crew, and L.L. Bean."
