I was raised in Southern California, and arrived here, in Mendocino
County via Utah, Maryland, and Texas. I am a retired telecom engineer,
thirty-plus years in that field. The last twenty years I have made some
furniture, a few chairs, boxes, and small items for friends and family,
when time and climate permitted. Upon retirement, we looked for a
cooler and more stimulating environment to settle in, and ended up in
Albion, California, just south of Fort Bragg. My interest in woodworking
started in the ’70′s after seeing James Krenov’s first book, but
didn’t become action until the ’90′s. I have attended a couple of summer
classes here at the school, and, at encouragement from friends and
family, applied for the nine month program. The summer classes and this
program far exceed any expectations I may have had.
