Lucky me, born and raised in paradise 75+ years ago. Son of a carpenter and cabinet maker, I was practically raised in a shop. I have been a registered architect since 1973. 1n 1990 started my own firm with an interior designer with offices in Honolulu and Singapore. The poor economy in the nineties contributed to shutting down my office. In the early 2000s I started working for other firms again, then for the state government. I retired in 2010 as a Quality Control Architect from the Facilities Department in the state-wide education system. I started turning in 2003 and am on my second lathe, a Vicmarc VL300 short bed. I live in a beautiful home I designed and built 100 feet from majestic Kaneohe Bay. I currently spend hours in my Heavenly Shop instead of near K-Bay. Before July 2019, I really appreciated all the contacts I had via the WoW website. Thank you all!
