Being a professional furniture builder for the past 30 years, with a family background in the construction trade, and a general all around tinkerer, gives me a unique sense for creating technical illustrations. Take a look at my website to see examples.

I've been illustrating professionally since 1998. I create the illustration in 3D using a CAD program. Then I "explode" the object to reveal its construction. Using the CAD program allows me to rotate and change views quickly. Once the final view is determined, then I render or color the drawing using a variety of techniques.

I began professionally building furniture in 1978. I’ve built everything imaginable including uniquely designed art furniture, Stickley and other reproductions, all types of household furniture, even canoes and a sailboat. Fine furniture and cabinets built to meet your needs is my specialty. I enjoy challenges and excel at creating the unusual. In 1988 I started writing and producing freelance woodworking projects, articles, and plans for various woodworking and home improvement publications.

As a side business, I manufacture Lash-It™ which is a handy product for canoes and kayaks. More about Lash-It™ at: www.lash-it.com
