I design and make furniture that I like, and would want in my home. Most of the furniture that I make starts with wood, as I love the look and feel of serious wood, which is why most of my pieces have a clear finish on them.

Two major influences are the prairie style of architecture that I grew up with in my parents home, but also the Bauhaus architecture of my alma mater in Central Minnesota. I spent too many hours sitting in Marcel Breuer chairs, in a Marcel Breuer-designed library, pondering the design rather than writing that Brittish Lit. paper.

Central Minnesota is a good place for one who loves modern; it is also a very good place for someone who loves wood. I have a handful of sawyers within a 45-minute drive from whom I buy my wood--mostly Red Oak, White Oak, Walnut, and Cherry.
