As an Artisan, Brent would describe himself as a simple woodworker - he loves to make things that are useful and functional.

His fascination with wood began when he was in Junior High School. For him there was, and is, no greater pleasure than taking a shaving from a piece of pine with a freshly sharpened hand plane.

After high school, he continued to advance in both skill and educational training, finishing his training at the college level and becoming a master woodworker.

It was at that time that he discovered Shaker boxes and carriers. They are elegant and practical, functional and decorative, traditional and contemporary at the same time.

"Today, I am fortunate to be able to work with some of the finest woods available: cherry, walnut, and birds eye maple. I’ve created literally thousands of pieces of beautiful wood and yet each day I remain fascinated by the fact that each piece was created naturally."
