I started creating cool things with wood to earn some extra money while I had a regular job and a family to take care of. It was like my escape – spending late nights and weekends in a small workshop I set up. The goal was simple: craft things to bring in more money for my hobby, buy tools, and make life a bit easier for my family.

My family is the most important thing in the world to me. My wife, Jaime, is incredibly supportive while I spend long hours in my workshop, especially with the kids going crazy in the house. Having a young family makes being away in the shop challenging, but with her support, I can use my creativity to make the stuff I enjoy.

Juggling a full-time job, family stuff, and this growing woodworking thing isn't easy. But every piece I create represents not just some extra cash but a step towards a future where my passion could help support my family even more. Hopefully, it's also creating a work ethic for my children in a fun and relaxing environment.
