Building with Purpose in the West Kootenays
Based in beautiful Slocan, BC, I bring quality carpentry to homes throughout the valley. As a second-generation woodworker, craftsmanship runs in my blood. I recently moved back to Canada with my wife after finding love and getting married in Thailand - now we're building our life together in the West Kootenays. What drives me isn't just creating beautiful pieces - it's about building relationships and adding real value to people's lives.
"I follow Jesus, and I'm a Christian. Whatever people think about that, in reality, that's going to lift my quality of work and the way that I treat people. I'm working for the Lord and not for men - that means I'm working towards a greater purpose, not just checking off boxes."
My approach is simple: relationships first. I believe in honest communication, continuous learning, and bringing integrity to every project. Whether it's a live edge table or a deck for your family gatherings, I'm here to help create something meaningful.
"I don't really have a huge desire to build someone's fifth home. I would love to build someone a house who needs a house. There's meaning behind it."
