In 1990 he worked for a small timber framing company and fell in love with this ancient craft's history, craftsmanship, and permanence in structure. He has worked in every facet of the timber frame industry but it is the creative design end of the building process that gives him the most satisfaction. He continues to be inspired by the creativity of his fellow designer and the craftsmen in the shop.
