About Me
I have been married to a very wonderful wife for over 9
years. We have a beautiful daughter (Victoria) and son
(Jonathan) who are the highlights of our lives. I am a retired
Navy Chief that currently works for the state of Florida in
the DOC, I find that working with my hands is sometimes
more relaxing than anything else. I get a sense a freedom
and feel at ease working with wood.
I make a variety of items from wood on the lathe. Cues,
Joint protectors and Pens are some of the more common
items I produce. I enjoy making all of the above, cues are
the most challenging as they take the most amount of time
and patience. No two items will ever look the same and this
is what I like
Each cue that I produce gets my own special seal of
approval, if it fails to meet any of my established guidelines
it gets run through the band-saw and placed in the scrap
bin. Some people say that I am a little too much of a
perfectionist, but that is the reason that the items I create
turn out the way they do.
Remember if you see something that you like or have
something in mind that is not listed send me an email and
we can discuss all of the possible options.
The following is a list of the people that I would like to
acknowledge. First off is my wife Julie and our two kids.
They continually give me a reason to strive for perfection.
Mike Keith for being a good friend and telling me what
"Feels good" in a cue. Joe Pierpaoli for telling me I was
underrating my potential. Mike Webb for all of the hints and
advice in the cuebuilding process. Chris Hightower for
great machines, support and advice.
