It all started with a high school shop class making a cutting board and end table. That shop class was where a passion was born. In the years to follow I took on projects refinishing furniture and making small items as a hobby. I joined the Navy in 2016 where I spent the next 4 years on active duty. In my spare time I began tackling bigger projects such as a coffee table, a crib, and changing table for our newborn in 2019. I was constantly telling my wife “I could do this every day”.

Between my active time, while in the reserves, Gundeck Woodworking was formed. I struggled to finding a job that felt meaningful and purposeful to me. Something that I truly enjoyed doing and would also support my family financially. It wasn’t until I bought my first home that I realized that I should chase the passion that brings me solace, woodworking. The joy that I get from building quality furnishings that will likely be around long after I’m gone, is truly a purpose I didn’t know I was looking for.

So, draw it, dream it, or simply think about it and let me know what you visualize on your porch, your kitchen or in your office, CHALLENGE ME! YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED.
