About Me
With a 30-year career in the media industry, I understand the importance of client service, meeting (and exceeding) expectations, and superior craftsmanship. I use hand-selected American hardwoods sourced from local mills, and for some projects, reclaimed materials from century-old barns, to create unique heirloom pieces that you'll be proud to showcase in your home or office.

About My Work
Whether it's custom cabinetry or a one-of-a-kind piece of furniture, I treat every commission like it's for a friend. I use traditional joinery techniques and the finest materials and finishes to ensure that your piece not only looks beautiful, but will also last for generations.

I'm a member of the Society of American Period Furniture Makers, and the Cabinet Makers Association.

    Kerry made the most beautiful table for us. He paid close attention to what we needed--a relatively small dining room table for our apartment that would open up to be large when we had the kids and grandkids over. I thought that would be a drop-leaf table, but he came up with a beautiful design that was more clever. He made a gorgeous cherry table that has hidden leaves under each end. When you lift up the top and pull those identical pieces out, they slide into place perfectly and the top drops down this the middle, making an 88-inch table. He was professional, the price was fair, he is clearly an artist and expert, and he chose a great shipper.

    The shelves arrived on time but the large shelf was broken and sent back. He was not happy with his handler. It came back in timely manner and it is up and looks great. Did everything to my specifications. Would highly recommend him.

    The dining table Kerry made for us is truly a work of art. His communication throughout our project was wonderful, providing suggestions, full updates and photographs. Personal Delivery was on time and efficient. Kerry is a professional woodworker who invests great care and passion in his craft. As such I would highly recommend him.

    EXCELLENT. Great communicator throughout. Kerry took the time and care to understand exactly what I wanted and worked with me as I made refinements to my design. Kerry kept me updated throughout the construction with photos and time frame. The shelves were done earlier than I expected and he delivered them personally to my home to install. The craftsmanship is impeccable. I highly recommend his work and look forward to working with him again. EXCELLENT.
