I was born and raised in Northwest Minnesota, but have lived in St. Paul for the last 9 years.  I currently live in St. Paul’s Northend Community near Lake Como.

I love my job, I love my family, and I love Minnesota!

Environmental Responsibility: I will make accommodations for any customer who prefers to strictly use green products on their project, but since it usually increases the cost it may not be as essential to every customer.  However, in all situations I do feel a responsibility to be a good steward of the earth.  I try to do this through the little things, like bringing all cardboard and metal scraps to the recycling center instead of throwing them in the dumpster.  I believe it is often the little things that go a long way.

Another thing that I enjoy is saving materials that can be reused.  I have a friend, Phil Carlson, who specializes in custom furniture constructed from reclaimed material.  For any person who sees value in rustic-looking furniture, this is the way to go!
