I have spent thirty years working in the trades ie: Painting, carpentry, interior finishes and general contracting. Stringed instrument construction has been an ongoing interest as the study of music has played a major role in my life, with fine woodworking as a focus. Injuries required a career change, which has resulted in my career as a Certified Residential Appraiser for San Miguel County; home to Telluride Ski and Golf, a world class four season resort. My goal is to continue to challenge myself in both my personal and profesionel pursuits.Specialties: High-End home construction and valuation, interior finishes, etc. Custom woodworking and finishes.
