I was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest. I grew up snowboarding, skateboarding, sailing, and fishing. I was in a car accident in 2008 that left me paralyzed from the waist down.

At the time of the accident, I was a journeyman electrician living on my small sailboat in Seattle. After the accident, I had a couple dark years but eventually met my wife at a dog training class and came back to the land of the living.

I went back to school, studying electrical engineering and experimenting with different forms of woodworking as a hobby. About halfway through my degree I decided to drop out of school and start a business around my true, new found passion, woodturning.

My wife is a nurse working at a hospital in Seattle, and a student in the University of Washington’s Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) program.

We live in Snohomish, Washington with our 3 dogs.
