Jason spends about 25 hours a week making wood art, and has been doing so for nearly three years. Though there have been some cut fingers and the usual aching back, making things people will really appreciate is why he doesn't spend his time playing golf or traveling in his semi-retirement.

Jason's woodwork is also for sale in an arts and crafts gallery and in an antique store in the Greater Asheville, NC area. He also attends a local farmer's market on Saturday mornings and sells items via this website.

Jason most enjoys making cutting boards/charcuterie boards, clocks, tables, hiking sticks, picture frames, and knives. He utilizes both foreign and domestic woods, and loves delving into new arenas. He occasionally makes pure “art”—with no particular function but beauty— as well.

When he isn't woodworking, Jason enjoys hiking, movies, photography, reading, and his two dogs. He has been married to his wife, Angela, who does facials for a living, for thirteen years. Jason has been working now for about 35 years, but with his work life mostly in retirement mode he fulfills his creative needs with woodworking, reading, taking classes online, and going to the dog park with Hannah.
