Craftsman - Handyman - Contractor
A Lifetime of Craftsmanship
I’ve been building and fixing things for more than 35 years. Been swinging a hammer since before I could walk. I take pride in my work and take care of my tools like I do my clients. I’ve taught woodworking and technical skills, wilderness survival, life skills, bow-carving, and traditional outdoor skills & primitive technology. I enjoy helping people with projects from installing crown moulding to garbage disposals. I’m a woodworker, cabinet-maker, all-around handyman, and once-and-future coffin-builder.
MY PROMISE
I’ve been called ‘honest to a fault’, which I take as a compliment. I take pride in my work and value true craftsmanship. Whether I’m designing a custom piece for you or installing a light bulb, I promise you that your project will receive my undivided skillset and attention.
I AM DOUG
I was raised by self-made parents: a Navy veteran/engineer father and a school secretary mother, who believed in hard work and a do-it-ourselves lifestyle. We didn’t have a lot of extra money, so family vacations meant building a shed or clubhouse in the backyard. My teachers were dirt and sawdust. My playthings, hammer and nails. I’ve often said that my hands are smarter than my head. I’m a kinesthetic learner and teacher and impart a love of craft in all of my work.
Today, I put my lifetime of skills to use helping people fix and build things around their homes. A couple days a week, I also teach skilled trades to adults on the Autism spectrum at a trade school in the Denver area.
