...​​​​" life imitates art "...

~ Howdy Folks ~


  So yeah - the images above, though short on representation, offer a

spattering glimpse into the whole of my work, art, and design under the entity

"Watershed Woodworks….. Pieces and projects envisioned and constructed largely of my own

accord, and informed upon by creative life philosophies and rustic artisan elegance ..... In conjunction, I've additionally culled small teams together in order to work in tandem when necessary to expedite complexity - the 152 year old "William ​Lyons House" in Albuquerque, New Mexico as one fine example ..... Pictured in the 2nd gallery, and included on Albuquerque's prestigious "Historic Downtown Walking Tour," this once glorious hacienda and former schoolhouse had fallen into deep and dangerous disrepair over decades of neglect and disquiet ..... Replete with frayed knob & tube wiring dangling out of every conceivable orifice - compromised structural solidity, foundational detritus & crumbling adobe - and the artistic integrity of a paintbrush unburdened by paint, the building had become an apocryphal nightmare, a blight on the cityscape and an embarrassment to the community ..... Purchased by Watershed Woodworks in 2008 through thoughtful investment planning, the property was gutted & landscaped - repurposed, reimagined, rebuilt 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 20 years in the supervisor roll in and around ​Philadelphia, Grand Junction, Albuquerque, Sayre Oklahoma, Gunnison and Telluride - all told constructing 20 or so 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 unique 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 us have​ a little fun

  

And let's build something together
