He made various pieces of furniture for family and friends, and at age 16, he was hired part time in a local cabinetmaking shop. There, he apprenticed with a master furniture maker from France.
In college he studied business and art, and at 23, started a custom woodworking business with a friend. In this new venture, he had the freedom to hone his skills at designing, building and finishing fine furniture. After 15 years, he broke off on his own to expand into antique restoration and studio furniture making.
