I build cabinets and custom furniture (beds, dressers, entertainment centers, curios, tables, etc. ) based on customer's designs and tastes. I work primarily in solid wood construction and/or plywood. I do not use MDF, particle board or press board, etc. This is in primarily due to lack of structural integrity for decades of use. I take pride in assuring that my products will be in the customers family for as long as they wish to keep them.

As an Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) technician it was mine and my team's job to be knowledgeable in the render safe procedures, movement and destruction of explosively hazardous materials. As the Senior Team Member / interim Team Leader it was my responsibility to ensure that my team had our equipment, personal protective equipment and the team's vehicles prepared at all times.

I spent nearly eight years as an apprentice to Joan and Ray Osteen, owners of Country Pine Furniture. During my time at Country Pine I learned to plan a piece of furniture based on the customers needs and wants, build the item, finish it (using a multitude of products and application techniques) and and finally install the finished product.

As an entry level technician I set up motorcycles upon receipt from the factory. I also performed routine maintenance and installed customer purchased Harley parts. As the Service Writer I scheduled maintenance and repairs in the Service Department of Twin States Harley. I generated work orders depending on requested/required services of customers as well as the Sales Department.
