​Also Happy To Do Very Basic Carpentry 

​Current Affairs

​​ <>  Howdy Folks  <> 

 ​ So - The images above, though short a few trails,

offer a fairly reflective glimpse into the old-world country elegance

of​ Watershed Woodworks and the projects, approach & design it envisions, with

an emphasis in structural preservation & creative life philosophies and informed upon

by history's rustic tale.  The years long restoration of the 1889 William Lyons House (Historic Walking Tour <> Albuquerque NM) presents as a particularly useful example in this regard.  Purchased in 2008 and pictured throughout, the storied hacienda

continues to enchant visitors & historians alike - and stands

empirically characteristic of a varied career

now ​spanning three decades

​In addition to this work however - and not pictured - lies

half a lifetime of traditional home builds and "clean lines" architecture

as a subcontracted member of numerous construction entities.  This work includes

nearly two decades in the Project Supervisor / Lead Carpenter roll, managing upwards of 10-15 tradesmen at a time and comprising 20+ high-end residences, multi-story additions, structural demolitions, commercial renovations, solar & straw bale homes, as well as several residential home lifts & basement builds completed in and around Telluride,

Albuquerque, Grand Junction, Philadelphia, Eastern Pennsylvania,

Western Oklahoma, Gunnison, Crested Butte & Santa Fe.

<>  Professional Philosophy  <>

We often hear the phrase "business is business." We hear

it so commonly that we hardly consider the implication - winning the

game at the expense of relationships & meaning.  But we can see it different

if we choose, and if we appreciate one simple truth.  Games don't enrich our lives ---

People do.  Business to me is a wonderful opportunity to discover subtleties of narrative & process within an intuitive trust and a connection to circumstance, whereby the dollar sits secondary to the experience that we're having and a common desire to learn & listen and create beautiful work together.  And more often than not, true and lasting friendship is

the culminating result of disregarding the antiquated.  As a long time EMT-trained

firefighter and member of the largest disaster response team in the nation, my

commitment to community and people is central to how I enter the

world.  It's central to my relationships in life, and central to

my work.  To me it's all very much the same.  And I

look forward to the friendships yet to be 

discovered - And I look forward to 

having a little

fun together along the way
