Born in Santa Clara, Cuba in 1960 to parents of Spanish and Cuban heritage, emigrated to the United States in 1966 and lived in Michigan since 1969, where I founded my studio in 1981 to the current day. "I design and hand make innovative modern furniture, premium cutting boards, top quality wood serving trays and other household items and have supplied some of the most renowned filmmakers, top restaurants and chefs, television stars, and exclusive boutiques in the United States. This includes the upscale California based Hillstone Restaurant Group, financial magnate Charles Schwab, Salesforce of Salesforce Tower in San Francisco, Steven Spielberg and the top 27 owners and executives at Dreamworks Pictures in Los Angeles, New York Restaurateur, Food Network Star and Iron Chef Geoffrey Zakakarian with top Florida chef Jamie DeRosa for the former Tudor House Restaurant in Miami Beach, renowned film director-producer Sofia Coppola, chef-authors Nicolaus Ballas and Cortney Burns of former Bar Tartine fame in San Francisco, award winning French director-producer Robin Barriere, the iconic and historic Dan Tana’s Restaurant in West Hollywood, the exclusive Tara Iti Golf Club in New Zealand, chef-author-television star Kate Hill in France, famed cookbook author James Nicholas Peterson, interior designer and Magnolia Network TV star Jean Stoffer, Nate Mandel, bassist for rock supergroup Foo Fighters, Cathy Bissell, industrialist and animal advocate, and top Michigan chefs Anthony Lombardo of SheWolf Pastificio & Bar and Andy Holiday of Selden Standard in Detroit, among many, many others not listed.

Every item is made from the finest quality kiln dried hardwoods available in Michigan and I personally inspect and select each and every plank before hand creating high performance and long lasting products people love to own and use. Small items are made from one individual plank of wood for excellent figure and color match and my cutting boards feature specially made rubber feet that provide extraordinary non-skid grip, a large part of what gives my cutting boards such superior and safe performance characteristics.
