I grew up in the Hudson River Valley in New York State with aspirations of being an architect, obsessed with Knex and Lego projects from an early age. I went on to study civil engineering at Brown University and, shortly thereafter, discovered timber framing through a week-long beginner workshop. I quickly fell in love with so much: the tools, the camaraderie, the elegance and simplicity, the math made manifest in structure.

My carpentry path ultimately led me to central Vermont, where I have lived and practiced timber framing for over 12 years. I enjoy a mix of design work, teaching, and cutting a few frames of my own each year.

If you’re wondering whether I can be of help to your project, don’t hestitate to reach out!
