2015

I STARTED THIS BUSINESS IN 2015 AFTER A TRAGIC ACCIDENT OCCURRED THAT INVOLVED MY LEFT HAND AND AN ANGLE GRINDER SAW. SINCE MY WIFE AND I
LOVE CHIP AND JO AND ARE DEEPLY INSPIRED BY THEM, WE DECIDED TO TAKE THE LEAP AND PURCHASE OUR OWN FIXER UPPER. SO, ON DECEMBER 1,
2015. I WAS HOME WITH MY SON FINISHING UP SOME RENOVATIONS TO OUR MASTER BEDROOM CLOSET WHEN MY SON WALKED INTO THE ROOM AND
APPROACHED ME AS I WAS ACTIVELY USING THE ANGLE GRINDER. AS MY FOCUS AND ATTENTION SHIFTED AWAY FROM WHAT I WAS WORKING ON AND ON TO MY SON, THE GRINDER DRIFTED TOWARDS WHAT I WAS CUTTING, WHICH CAUSED IT TO KICK BACK TOWARDS MY FACE, AND MY NATURAL REACTION WAS
TO PUT MY HAND UP. IN DOING SO, THE SAW CAUGHT MY GLOVE AND SEVERED MY LEFT RING AND PINKY FINGER AND THE ARTERY IN MY WRIST.

EXPERIENCED & PROFESSIONALISM 

FAST FORWARD, AFTER 7 RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERIES AND REHABILITATION, I WAS GUN-SHY TO USE MY POWERS TOOLS, BUT I DISCOVERED A HIDDEN TALENT AND A DEEP LOVE FOR WOOD WORKING AFTER FORCING MYSELF TO PUSH THROUGH MY FEARS. I AM PASSIONATE ABOUT MY WORK AND TAKE GREAT PRIDE IN WHAT I BUILD. AS I SAID EARLIER, MY WIFE AND I ARE FANS OF CHIP AND JO AND LOVE THE FARMHOUSE STYLE, SO I HAVE TAKEN A SPECIALIZED INTEREST IS THIS GENRE. THE MORE RUSTIC THE BETTER AND IMPERFECT IS PERFECT! I LOOK FORWARD TO EXPANDING THIS BUSINESS AND WORKING WITH YOU.
I LOOK FORWARD TO DOING BUSINESS WITH YOU!
