Since I was a small child I always liked to "craft"... And you know.... In the eyes of a child, even putting one screw in correctly is a huge achievement! As for me, I don't know if it was luck or talent, but almost always this screw, went right in... And the more often I succeeded, the more my desire, my longing, my imagination and my passion grew!

And the years passed while I continued to tinker, at the same time I also found my inclination.... Undoubtedly, around the age of 14 I knew I wanted to be a carpenter... I was building plans with the immature mind of a teenager and trying to capture these plans first on paper and then give them shape with the help of my hands and tools. And as I grew, so did my dreams!

Of course, nothing was easy and nothing was given to me! After all, who could take seriously a kid who claims to be a craftsman... Who could trust him? Most people thought that I was doing my classic, teenage revolution and as the years went by I would definitely change my mind and professional orientation.
However, in spite of people, I slowly and timidly started to set up my workshop, to take on small jobs at a local level - and when I say local I mean that I did not escape from the limits of my neighborhood - and to have earnings that did not exceed the pocket money that the my peers received from their parents...

Carpentry means for me...

However, in spite of the times, I continued to give shape to simple pieces of wood.... I continued to make art with wood as a raw material... And if you wonder why I refer to "the times" just think about how many carpenters you know now? I chose to do a profession that tends to disappear, with no one to teach me, advise me or even encourage me to keep chasing my dream…

And along with the obstacles, my stubbornness grew.. And along with my stubbornness, my business grew, my shop grew, I myself grew... I grew and changed... One might think that I achieved all this because I was getting wiser and the difficulties taught me to tread with more steady steps from one jump to another....

But do you know something? I achieved all this for one and only reason... I achieved all this because I loved, love and will love what I do!!! I love to create! I love seeing the faces of my clients upon delivery of my projects! I love to help make your dreams come true!
