About Tom
I began crafting wood in 2001 as a hobbyist, building furniture and cabinets for my family. In 2012, after 19 years as a software engineer at Microsoft in Seattle, I began my career in woodworking.
​
That same year, my family and I decided to move to Des Moines and get back to our Midwestern roots. My family goes back five generations in Iowa.
I have a degree from the ISU College of Design, as well as a computer science degree from the University of Washington.
​
As a professional woodworker, I use my engineering and design background in all of my projects, along with the desire to work with my hands and interact directly with my customers.
​
Thank you for visiting my website, and I look forward to working with you to improve the beauty and functionality of your home.
