John’s introduction to woodworking started when he was seven, helping clean worksites of debris while his father and grandfather built homes and garages. A programmer by trade, he is often found in the wood shop after hours: developing a new project, building a custom request or building small wooden boats for others to enjoy. John lives in Andover, MN and is often joined by his family Sheri, Brennen and Ashlynne.
