Bio

I am retired with 23 years of service in the Army, albeit with a 7 year break in service. I spent 3/4 of it as an Infantry soldier and then the last chapters as both a recruiter and a recruiting team NCOIC. I would say the high point of my career was indoctrination into the SGT Morales Club. I am a master cabinet builder. My specialties are inlay and marquetry. To date I have produced 6 designs in excess of 1,000 pieces each using domestic and exotic wood species. I usually contract for design builds.
