I've always loved to create things, from drawing as a young man to taking ceramics classes while in school creating has always been a passion of mine. That passion, and care for quality over quantity, is now expressed in my woodworking. I started creating wood products in 2016 when I made a few sets of cornhole boards and had some neighbors ask me to make more. The more I made things, the more I realized how much joy I got from the process. As a veteran of the US Army, I'm proud to have hand made items right here in Ohio that will last for years to come.

I get asked a lot about what CBR stands for. Those are the initials of my three children and if you look closely at the shamrock at the bottom of this page you'll find those letters in the leaves of the shamrock. Can you see them?

I'm active in the southwest Ohio art show circuit typically attending three or four shows a year as my schedule allows, and you'll always find me at Christmas in Springboro, my favorite show of the year. In between art shows, I have a full-time job as a sales rep for a cabinet manufacturer, and I coach boys' lacrosse. I also attend as many of my kids' sports, musical, and school events as possible. 

Thanks for reading this, I appreciate your support. Please reach out and contact me if there is anything that I can build for you!
