Garrett Young Grantham grew up in Fair Oaks, California. From a young
age he showed interest in construction and architecture. At the age of
eleven his father and a friend of the family showed him the basics of
rough woodworking -- and he immediately fell in love with the craft.
Once in high school he took wood shop all four years, developing his
skills and becoming lead student in the shop. Garrett also won the
California State Fair for woodworking his senior year. After high school
he worked at a local lumber yard which added to his knowledge of woods
and heavy machinery. After a year working at the lumber yard he was
ready to move on to the next challenge -- attending the College of the
Redwoods fine woodworking program in Northern California. With the help
of the amazing instructors he further honed his fine woodworking and
design skills. From CR he will move on to the American College of the
Building Arts in Charleston, South Carolina where he will seek a B.A in
old world architecture. Garrett's goal is to become a master woodworker.
