So - The images above, though short on representation, offer a
spattering glimpse into the whole of my work and designs under the entity
"Watershed Woodworks." Pieces and projects envisioned and constructed largely of my own accord, and informed upon by creative life philosophies and history's rustic tale. In addition, I often cull together small teams when necessary in order to expedite building complexity - the 152 year old "William Lyons House" in Albuquerque New Mexico as an example. Prominently included on Albuquerque's prestigious "Historic Downtown Walking Tour," this once glorious hacienda and former schoolhouse for girls had fallen into deep and dangerous disrepair over decades of neglect and disquiet. Replete throughout with dangling knob & tube wiring - foundational detritus, crumbling adobe, and stark & barren ground - the building had become an apocryphal blight on the cityscape and a significant embarrassment to the community. Purchased by Watershed Woodworks in 2008, the entire property was reimagined, repurposed and restored to appropriate prominence by myself and my team over the course of three exceptionally rewarding years, and stands unique as the "piece de resistance"
of a career now spanning three decades
In addition to this work - and not pictured - lie many formative
years undertaken as a member of numerous construction entities in varying positions - including nearly two decades in the supervisor roll in and around Philadelphia, Grand Junction, Albuquerque, Sayre Oklahoma, Gunnison and Telluride - all told constructing 25 residences from the concrete up to the final door knob, including several solar homes & straw bales - as well as
numerous high end additions and remodels
So yeah - While I certainly harbor no pretense of believing my particular
experience to be the perfect solution to befit every situation, and while there
is undoubtedly a great deal more to learn in life as well as craft. - it is my sincerest hope and belief that my work, design, references and reputation precede me and speak for themselves .......... I will do an outstanding job for you
So Let Us Dream
Let's Envision ……. Let's
Imagine ……. And Let's Have A Little Fun
