From Sawdust to Screens – My Journey
I’m here to show you that you can build it too.
And…if you wanna light it on fire, well that’s up to you!
If I can do it, you can too. I know new dad’s are busy, heck I have twin toddlers! I know the feeling! But that doesn’t mean that you can’t carve (see what I did there) out a little time to hone your maker skills. I don’t know about you, but when I became a father, something in my core changed. I knew I had to get my hands dirty and build stuff.

I’m the guy on the internet who burns stuff… on purpose.
I’ve always been a maker, even before I realized it. I was a writer first, then a web developer-in-the-making—until life (and twins) happened. But no matter what, I was always creating—building a garage workbench, painting murals for the kids’ nursery—never quite calling it making.
Then I found the maker community, and everything clicked. I wasn’t just building things; I was creating art.
What started as a hobby has turned into something bigger. Now, I carve, burn, and shape wood into something uniquely mine—part functional, part artistic, all fueled by obsession. My shop is my sanctuary, a place where I get lost in the process, and I share it all in hopes of inspiring others to pick up a tool and create.
This isn’t just a passion—it’s a way of life. And if I can turn a garage hobby into something real, so can you.
Come along for the ride. Let’s build something badass together.
