About Me:
Originally from Michigan, I moved to Colorado in 1991 to be closer to the mountains I love. After working in the corporate world of Biotechnology for 12 years I started my own carpentry and woodworking business. In addition to basic handyman tasks I specialize in Custom Furniture, Tile and Hardwood Flooring, Kitchens, Baths and Decks. I was inspired for this career change after a 960 sq ft addition to my home. I hired a framing crew to dry in the space but have completed all of the rest myself. (It was a couple years after this project started that I found my new career) We recently purchased over 40 acres of land in Northern New Mexico and have started a small off grid cabin. Our long term plans are to relocate there and build a larger off grid home. When I'm not up to my elbows in Sawdust I enjoy Photography, Color Digital, Time-Lapse and True Infrared. You can see it at my Flickr pages. http://www.flickr.com/photos/kmswoodworks... Website: http://www.flickr.com/photos/kmswoodworks/se... www.kmswoodworks.com www.http://kmswoodworks.wordpress.com
