Mike's the head of the timber frame shop. In addition to his feline sense of balance (he'll be the guy walking nonchalantly along the ridge beam on raising day), Mike has an uncanny ability to think in 3D & can come up with a solution before anyone else has an inkling that there's a problem. Mike built the home he shares with his wife & children. When free of family obligations, he can be found at one end of a fishing pole in the summer and attached to a bowstring in October.

Darren moved from the West Coast to the East Coast a few years back and found his place in our engineering department. Eventually, the lure of the West was too strong and he soon found his way to Washington and then to Oregon where he lends his talents as our West Coast timber frame shop manager. Quick to smile with a contagious laugh, he enjoys all things outdoors and provides fierce competition to his fellow racquetball enthusiast co-workers. Darren and his wife Rachel are often moving fast in an effort to keep up with their growing boy, Tucker, and their baby girl, Clover. 

Paul came to the timber frame shop by way of our construction group and is now all grown up with lovely wife Jolene, four young boys, and a 19th century timber frame farmhouse that he's whipped into shape for them all to nest in. He's an expert with reclaimed timber, often leading any project that involves old hand hewn posts and beams all while sharing tips and tricks with our newer craftsmen. 

The only member of the shop with a log-home building background and a Mr. Clean hairdo. Jake's steady hand, and carving skill is the force behind all of our timber engravings. He's also a pro at found form and putting the finishing touches on our mortise and tenon joints. When he's not swooning over his wife, daughter, and son, he and his dog Stewie often find themselves at the dry end of a fishing pole.

Andy's a bit of an enigma — a quiet guy with a tough work ethic. His composed nature makes him a great team member and a skilled hunter — a hobby that occupies most of his Fall weekend mornings. While on occuasion we'll find Andy in the field at a raising, he typically spearheads layout as timbers come off the Hundegger CNC. He codes each stick, checking measurements, marking chamfers and curves that will be hand finished in the next stage. Currently Andy and his wife Ashley are busy keeping up with their daughter Bristol and son Luke, while remodeling their family home.

One of the types that is good with tools and natural at building things, Dana helps head up our timber frame team in McMinnville. He’s also a foodie, adept at building meals inspired by new foods, new places, and new people. And, if it’s a beach day, then Dana and his family of 7 are at their most happy.

Having picked up some skills and knowledge in residential construction, Sam joined our timber framing team seeking an understanding of the traditional craft. He enjoys the hands-on detail in woodworking, crafting smaller projects like picture frames at home, but is “really into traveling and raising day” with our team. New places and new big timber projects motivate Sam–his enthusiasm and work ethic are infectious. Sam also dedicates time to attend a local community college, hunting, hiking, and modifying his truck, just for the fun of it.

Dylan is a second-generation timber framer, following in the footsteps of his Grandfather. A traditionalist when it comes to archery, choosing the old methods over new technology- Dylan is comfortable around most things outdoors.  Ladders though, not so much.

Shawn came to us after 25 years in the foodservice industry as a restaurant chef and creator for a prominent grocery chain. He has always been into working with wood, creating furniture and more, and fixing up his family’s home. Shawn found his way to us through a connection with our coworker Jake, who has been friends with Shawn for more than a decade and thought he would be a perfect fit for the team. These days he's enjoying honing his skills under the guidance of our long-time timber framers (like Jake) and going on the road to raisings.
 

One of our wonderfully beard-y timber framers, Jason came to us from what he termed a “boring job” found after earning his industrial engineering degree. To our delight, he has a special affinity and skill for working reclaimed timbers. Jason has covered some peaks, having only two more to conquer before he becomes an “Adirondack 46er”. What’s one of his biggest dislikes? Cubicles.

Founder, President, Designer, Timber Framer, Tree-hugger, Self-Confessed Business Cowboy...the man wears many hats here.

Jonathan's in Portland most of the time, overseeing the west coast end of our design & timber framing business—sometimes designing with clients, sometimes making new partnerships, sometimes onsite in a tool belt. A few times a year he hops a flight to New York to see what's kicking in Farmington. He's also been spotted in he desert or on a mountain-side getting his energy out on a dirt bike with son Jake. Basically he's a hard guy to pin down, or have sit still, but that's what we love about him most.

Another RIT graduate — Eric went straight from school to being a mechanical engineer for an aerospace company and then to his desk upstairs where he now manages our quirky crew. He & Heather are proud parents of three — also known as the coordinators, cab drivers, and coach/cheerleader for their ice hockey kiddos.

Hailing from TN where he worked the family fruit farm and joined a small architecture firm, David moved to Oregon to learn more on viticulture and to find a more eco-conscious way of life. He's now sharing his architectural skills with our west coast team, embracing the Pacific Northwest sense of style, and enjoying timber as a renewable building resource, particularly reclaimed timbers. Outside of the studio he plays soccer and golf, snowboards, and is planning to learn kite surfing on Hood River.

Segueing from commercial project work to join our design team in creating custom homes, Architectural Designer, Kyle, tells us he’s enjoying the drafting and modeling of projects with similar base materials (wood, stone, etc) in stylistically infinite ways. Kyle is working towards becoming a licensed architect by workday and by weekend he’s hiking, kayaking, and skiing, often with his dog, Chelsie. Admittedly not an amazing baker, Kyle did share that he can eat a seemingly unlimited amount of baked goods and fall asleep anywhere after Thanksgiving dinner.

Kyle is one of our licensed architects and resident pizza snob.  Ask him about building sciences, ask him if brisket is vegetarian (yes, of course), just don't ask him about social media- he doesn't use it.  Want to make this Dad happy?  Point him in the direction of the best local foods and kick him a soccer ball.

Design is the name of the game for Diana whose focus falls to Interior Design and some Architectural Design within our design group. After spending time developing and engineering trade show booths for Fortune 100 companies, she tells us she enjoys the day-to-day variety, new skills, architectural knowledge, and homeowner interaction that are part of daily life around our office. She pushes the limits away from the office, trying her hand at local Autocross racing, a new favorite pastime with her husband Adam–that is when they’re not watching/attending F1 races. Diana has a variety of hobbies including singing with the Eastman Rochester Chorus, cooking, knitting, and anything outdoors (often with Ringo, the family Australian cattle dog).

A native of upstate New York, Owen ventured to Florida for a few years working as a production engineer for powerboats including racing sailboats and aircraft float pontoons. He returned home and joined our engineering group in Farmington, NY. Owen is an avid sailor, acting as skipper whenever he can. He's happy to be close to Lake Ontario and always looking for that perfect sailing day (although he admits he is looking forward to a cold and blustery winter so he can hone his downhill ski racing skills). If he's not out on the water…actually it seems that Owen is always on the water, sailing or kiteboarding or water skiing or swimming...all with wife Stephanie and their daughter  & son in tow. 

Justin joined us as a project engineer in charge of new business after his time serving in the US Navy. This Veteran is passionate about the art of building design: renderings, sketching, and models. After some time spent with our West Coast team he has recently returned home to the East Coast and is already eagerly chatting with folks looking to design and build timber frames. You'll see he embraces the dad-style socks-in-sandals lifestyle, spending time outdoors in any weather and on the water any chance he and his family get.

Bryan joined our engineering group after earning his degree from the SUNY Institute of Technology. He's a leader in most of our timber frame enclosure projects, sharing well tuned knowledge of energy efficent design and implementation. Outside of the office he's an avid outdoorsman and enjoys anything to do on the water – fishing, boating, jet skiing, and kayaking to name a few. When the weather cooperates and there isn't a nearby body of water, he can often be found camping, hiking, or hunting. These days he and wife Jillian (and their two dogs) spend lots of time running for fun and competitively...but mostly in effort to keep up with their son!

Dave left the mild expanses of North Carolina to join our engineering team in the yo-yoing climate of Farmington, NY and while his southern drawl makes us all think of warmer weather, he’s no stranger to the cold as he spent a number of his teenage/college years in Kodiak, Alaska. He’s known around the office as ’the coach’ thanks to dedicating much of his time to coaching high school baseball and basketball. Dave tells us he’s always been a fan of timber homes and enjoys building furniture as a hobby along with playing basketball, golf, and scuba diving whenever possible. He recently exchanged vows with his love, Stephanie, and together they are exploring outdoor adventures in the Northeast.

Kelsey has a bit of wanderlust in his soul.  Grew up in Alaska, tried the whole "Midwest thing" for a few years, decided his happy place was closer to the mountains, wandered West to us in Oregon. A veritable connoisseur of all things outdoors- Kelsey is right at home on our timber frame team in the PNW.

No stranger to the backcountry, our timber frame engineer Melissa always knows where to find fresh powder for snowboarding or her next “terrible” project car to bring back to life.  Always ready to spread some love for tiny living and modular spaces, Melissa also considers herself a bit of a crossword puzzle aficionado. 

Nick effortlessly transitioned from engineering to our timber frame shop and back again. His positive work ethic is as contagious as his passion for sustainability and crafting with timbers. He’s definitely in good company amongst our teams with his sport preferences: dirt biking, snowboarding, and hunting. 

Make no mistake, Bethany loves the outdoors. From snowboarding to exploring local parks- Outside is her happy place.  Although we do worry about her plans for turning her apartment into a houseplant "jungle".  If she does get stuck inside you may find her sipping on quality coffee and talking to the plants, which is totally fine.

We were immediately drawn to Calvin’s fascinating array of interests and skills: lighting designer, draftsmanship maniac, mechanic, professional volleyball ref, sculptor, woodworker...we could go on! After leaving a Texas studio for his woodworking shop in SoCal, he moved north towards the mountains, bringing his talent for residential architecture to our design team in Portland, OR. If you have a campfire, Calvin is the guy to invite to cook a good meal and spin a fine tale. 

Sojourning from Germany, Simon met his lovely bride Jess and discovered our engineering team in Oregon before heading back to his homeland. Almost obsessively growing his knowledge of wood science and technology, he’s applying his mind and hands to remodeling with help from Jess and best friend Paco-the-dog.

Aaron is a project engineer on our East Coast team that comes to us by way of Chicago where he was a project manager for a production & museum exhibit company. A former US Marine, he relocated to the Rochester area with his wife and daughter in 2021. His family are avid hikers and campers when the weather permits, and he also has his pilot’s license - dreaming of flying small airplanes in his off time.

Ty has a natural love for how good design helps people enjoy where and how they live. He enjoys riding dirt bikes, keeps a busy social schedule with his family, and following the Lord's calling by working to rebuild areas hit by disaster.

Pete brings sustainable and energy efficient knowledge, ideas and techniques to each project, knowing that the built environment has the ability to make the world a better place. He feels that his best work is complimented by time retreating to the outdoors in feet of snow or head high waves. “My work is a lifestyle and it’s always ongoing. Creating interesting spaces come from experiencing them first”.

Luke thrives on challenges that come with one-of-a-kind projects which makes him the right fit to help lead our construction team. Spanning skillsets like project management, commercial construction, large-scale demolition, fine woodworking, steel fabrication, and restoration of old power tools - he finds satisfaction in the sense of happiness that our craft brings to our clients. Luke is a husband and father of two, who happens to also be what we affectionately call a ‘boomerang-er’ having worked for our fine woodworking division a few decades ago. We are glad he finally came back home!

When Mark, a member of our construction team, isn’t building homes, he’s exploring the outdoors while fishing, hiking, and camping. Much of his spare time is spent with his daughter Amelia and newborn son, Hans. Mark studied metal and wood sculpture at Alfred University, then lived in Connecticut for a number of years before returning to settle near our shop in Upstate New York.

After spending 18 years in Colorado, Scott joined our construction group with a vast knowledge of carpentry and experience working with (and against) the elements. When he's not building one of our timber frame homes, he's 'just playing' with his two sons, Gavin and Ryan, stepdaughter Natalia, and wife Julie. You may also find him amongst the mountains climbing or riding the slippery slopes. 

Kevin is a natural fit for our construction crew – he’s a lover of all things outdoorsy and woody. Hot, cold, rain, snow, he’s conquering it all with a smile. (Kevin showed his sense of humor for this bio photo, as he "checked" the accuracy of our timber frame team's work.) His skills have been honed over the 17+ years he’s been raising homes and our team is glad to have him on their side! Kevin’s local to our Farmington headquarters having planted roots with his wife Megan, and little guy, James, just down the road in Bloomfield, NY. 

We like to keep to our general contracting projects to approximately 75 miles from our headquarters in Farmington. For Wes, this has proven to be just right, allowing him to ‘get out’ while continuing to enjoy living in his hometown region near family and lifelong friends. Wes has a resume of building experience which he’s able to implement and hone on each project we push his way. What does he like the most about custom building? Doing something different on the job each day. As he says, “keeps things interesting”. Living in an area with four distinct seasons, Wes makes the most of each, hiking, hunting, fishing, snowboarding, and boating. 

We nabbed Aidan for our construction team as he graduated from SUNY ESF with a degree in Construction Management and immediately put him to work in the field to gain hands-on experience. Enjoying the opportunity to learn something new every day on ever-changing construction sites, Aidan has now segued into an assistant project manager role where he’s applying his knowledge (and, he shares, continuing to learn) to help to keep our GC jobs on track. He still lends a hand on-site as needed and otherwise keeps in shape hiking–he’s nearly completed the Adirondack 46 High Peaks.

With a long-standing passion for the outdoors and for doing right by people & planet–which includes growing food at home and volunteering to clear trails for community enjoyment (mountain biking anyone?!)–John is a natural fit for our team. He is leading our HPEz (High Performance Made Easier) pre-panelized enclosure line, and we know he’s excited to be incorporating natural wood fiber and hemp insulations into a system that is making structures highly energy efficient. Together with Dayton, his wife, and their three little ones, John’s making the most of their farmstead home and land. 

Ashley relocated from South Carolina where she worked as the office manager for a construction company, to become the go-to resource for everything and anything admin related our construction team needs. The keeper of orders, finder of answers, and researcher of all things, there is always something new is Ashley’s day-to-day: “I love the ever changing work days of construction. Learning, adapting to situations, helping everyone in the field–it fits me.” A self-proclaimed child of nature, Ashley is an avid hiker and explorer. She also devours books, expresses her creativity with various crafts, and spends as much time as she can living life to the fullest with her husband, Lemuel, their faithful hound, Chance, Autumn the cat, and Maia and Gus the house rabbits. 

We know Jarrad joins and celebrates the long line of skilled carpenters in his family, but where he really lights up is when talking about his daughter. This special little girl is a bundle of energy who wants to know how everything works (much like her dad!) and she keeps Jarrad running, learning, and playing.

At a young age CJ started helping his dad fix houses for resale, learning carpentry, electrical, plumbing, and other skills along the way. Joining our team was a natural evolution for him. His unique perspective and ability to apply new techniques continues to impress. A bit of a daredevil at heart, CJ likes high octane hobbies and puts special attention to motorized sports with a ’78 Dodge Ramcharger and a Harley Davidson motorcycle topping his list of favorites. 

Jonathan (JW for short) transitioned from working the land, to landscape, to building with our construction team. Being on ladders or in lifts is no big deal to this experienced climber–ask him about climbing in Maine or about some of the high peaks he’s summited. The overall dedication to work and positivity of his coworkers is what keeps JW motivated every day.

Remodeling was Kevin’s business for 25 years. As he transitioned to our construction team he divulged that he enjoys the high level of craft and unique timber frame homes the team builds; and we enjoy the decades of experience and knowledge he brings to the crew. Married for 26 years, father to 4, and grandfather to 7, Kevin is still finding time to rehab and repurpose a large warehouse space in his town into apartments.

Full throttle hobbies like riding motorcycles appeal to Ashton just as much as focused precision interests like golfing. We’re glad to engage his drive and dedication to details on our construction team. He started out installing tile with his father before moving on to creating hardscapes – boulders included – and has now found his niche with carpentry. Ashton told us he’s soaking up the vast wealth of knowledge from our diverse team; he really enjoys learning something new each day.

As part of our HPEz team, Max applies his product/industrial design education daily, something he finds pretty darn rewarding. He’s become quite the expert with our semi-automated tooling and is eagerly learning more. Disc golf keeps him active outside, while keeping freshwater fish occupies his time–and space–at home. Max also co-parents two cats who seem to have little interest in their fishy roommates…thankfully!

We were excited to bring Adam’s construction engineering background to our HPEz team from the beginning. Adam enjoys that each day is different and finds it cool that he’s one of the few people in the nation working with this type of semi-automated tooling. Each year he looks forward to the snow falling as a signal that hunting season and good ski days are approaching–at least when he isn’t spending time with his family at big and small gatherings. 

We have a handful in our midst who are 46’ers (hiked all 46 peaks in the Adirondacks), but only a few who have completed the Application Trail. Aubrey is one of those few! He started doing construction in Pennsylvania and was looking for a bigger company where he could learn a higher level of carpentry. We know he’s up to the challenge of developing new skills and we’re happy to have him as part of our team.

Rob's the leader of the NEWwoodworks crew and has been with us for over 25 years. [Ask him about the tiny office he used to share with PMW's Michele when we were first starting out in Shortsville. Oh, those were the days!] When his wife Stephanie can pry him away from the new cabinetry shop, you'll find Rob, Stephanie, and their daredevil son hanging out in the woods of Ithaca and the shores of Cayuga Lake.

A quiet man of few words. In fact, this was about all we could muster Charlie to tell us about himself:

He has 40+ years cabinet making experience, 3 children, and for a hobby he does woodturning, including a cool handle for the main door of our shop. He's making the most of local waterways, and on his kayaking adventures has found a nesting area for blue herons. Charlie said, "...it’s like paddling through something from the prehistoric era." 

Geoff is a lifetime craftsman having grown up, and grown into, his family’s custom fine woodworking shop in nearby Scottsville, NY. Today he leads the NEWwoodworks installation crews, handles some project management, and enjoys hands-on crafting time in the shop whenever possible. He told us he “loves to work in the shop when I can. The variety of our work is great and challenging. Plus I work with some amazing fellow craftsmen!”. Whenever he can, Geoff gets off the grid, hiking and spending time in the woods, preferably in a hammock. Geoff and Gail have been married for 34 years and enjoy four children and two grandkids. We hear he’s also a great cook, understands sound design, and is handy with metal work.   

Hans is the finishing guru on our fine woodworking team. His final touches create the super smooth surfaces on all of our hand crafted pieces. Hans enjoys several sports with his two sons – snowboarding, cross-country skiing, white water rafting, canoeing – they are currently working on building their third canoe. One of a number of musicians in our midst, Hans enjoys playing the mountain dulcimer and mandolin.

Good employees sometimes venture off to explore different opportunities, very often they come back. As is the case with Daniel, now on his second tour with NEWwoodworks. He, his wife, their kids, and two dogs make camping, hiking and skeet shooting high priorities. Though he's considering adding a mini-donkey to the clan possibly to compliment his hobby as a Republican propagandist. We can't help but wonder if it's because he couldn't find a mini-elephant?

Paul joined our fine woodworking team after fostering and crafting for his family’s custom fine woodworking shop in nearby Scottsville, NY. This story might sound familiar, as his brother, Geoff, is also a member of our NEWwoodworks team. Families together, home and work, we get that! Paul and wife Heather spend plenty of time with their son, Freddie, particularly at baseball games. Reclaimed wood was new to Paul; he's adjusted to the nuiances of it as he “loves learning more to do with wood”. If you have a few minutes, ask Paul about his Chevy S10 small block hot rod…it’s his ongoing masterpiece. 

After two decades working with fresh sawn wood at a large mill near Rochester, NY, Jeff has turned his skills to our fine woodworking group, finding his groove with reclaimed wood. Jeff tells us he's enjoying time in the shop and on job sites, plus the puzzle of finding the right character, texture, and tones for each plank when crafting with reclaimed wood brings new challenges to his workmanship. Fishing and hiking are his favored pastimes outside of a busy family life with his fiance and kids. 

Josh is part our fine woodworking crew and specializes in design and engineering on staircases, doors, and furniture for NEWwoodworks. He is an avid backyard astronomer, loves a good book and dabbles in 3D printing and modeling in his spare time. Josh has a passion for nature, and all of the complex yet beautiful intricacies it reveals to us, on small and large scales. It’s a safe bet that when the night is clear and the stars are out, Josh is gazing up thought his telescope, dreaming of what else might be out there.

From building with his grandfather, to a Windsor Chair class, to journeyman, to our team, Morgan’s path to our shop is footprints in sawdust all the way. Recently married to his sweetheart Charissa, this piano-man is also a major disc golf player, always traveling with his discs as part of his plan to explore every course in the upstate NY region.

Alex grew up building pipe organs at his family’s business, then while studying for his Architectural degree, spent time learning furniture design. He’s putting his varied design talents to work for our fine woodworking team, NEWwoodworks where he enjoys watching designs for hand-crafted cabinetry, stairs, and furniture come to life. Alex’s non-work time is spent with his girlfriend Mikaela and cat Rosie, plus he’s an avid mountain biker, leading volunteers on maintenance and construction projects for shared-use trails.

Drake came to us from his own custom building enterprise in Ann Arbor, Michigan where he now serves as our Midwest representative. Some of Drake's great pleasures include playing bluegrass music on one of his many guitars or mandolins, traveling across country in his pickup camper, relaxing by the fire with his wife, five kids and their families (now including seven grandkids!) or hiking in the woods with his troupe of dogs. 

An astonishing bit of math about Marc: he's been with our company nearly since its inception (30+ years), has been on over 700 raisings (a total guestimate), looks no more than a day over 39 (save for some grey hairs which we're pretty sure are our fault), and has a grandson in the timber frame shop (his DNA is made of wood). Still heading out on raisings when he's needed, or running the crane, Marc's now down in North Carolina with his wife Tracy enjoying the beach, the quiet-life of empty-nesters, and talking timber frame homes with ya'll looking to build down south.

A native of the Rochester region, Pam stepped in as our new finance manager in Farmington NY with positive energy and a contagious smile. Outside of work, Pam and her husband Jeremy are honing their swimming and soccer jargon thanks to their daughter Ella and son Connor’s avid interest in both sports. When she has a free moment Pam can be found shopping – she can hold her own with any bargain hunter – or jogging. Last year she ran her first 5K and we know she’s planning to conquer a few more!

Jen is one of our finance gurus with a touch of IT obsession. She, husband Joe, and kids Nicholas and Nicole are working to update their home - from what we understand pulling wallpaper is a fun family activity! Jen loves to cook, admits to an undying love of cheese, addiction to kick boxing, and keeps everyone (cat, dog, and fish included) healthy and happy.

A stickler for making things happen accurately and on time, the only place she lets things slide is at the barn where she's happy amongst the horses and a little teary as she remembers her days spoiling Jack. On-the-go is a way of life for Megan and as she has her sights set on a 5K (even though we know she dislikes running), she's busy riding, playing racquetball, hiking, and rock climbing most often with her 'people', husband Marty and kids. 

Deanna is back with our team after working in-house at Habitat for Humanity and agency-side at Dixon Schwabl. Her heart is with helping those who need it, family, farm-to-table, and anything hygge. She’s a designer and wordsmith by trade and leads our crazy creatives by filling their buckets with “pretty things”, chocolate, and meta conversations. Win her over with your best dad-joke and a well-mixed Old-fashioned – she’ll be yours forever.

Caitlin, our Marketing Coordinator, is the go-to problem solver, finder of lost photos, and she helps our marketing team connect with our partners across the country. A mother of two young children, son Wyatt and daughter Finley, Caitlin’s life revolves around her family with the help of her husband Kevin. She is passionate about art, loves baking, has a weakness for sweets, and enjoys a good bit of celebrity gossip from time to time. Her childhood was spent growing up all over the country, but it is here in Rochester that she grew roots, and as Catlin put it; “I think I’m a Rochester-lifer now.” Her kind demeanor and understanding nature makes our team stronger and our office brighter. 

Meg is a native of Western NY and though she left to pursue further education, she returned quickly thereafter. She shared that she loves living in NY–“It’s home”. Transitioning from graphic design for a hotel chain to our MarCom department, Meg embraced our Multimedia Designer role which allows her creativity to flourish across mediums. Like many of her coworkers, she’s an avid outdoor enthusiast (hiking, fishing, kayaking, swimming), but also has a keen interest in weight lifting and reading. What’s Meg famous for? “I’m great at making up recipes with whatever is in my kitchen. I could be on Chopped and nail it every time.” 

John works in our marketing department as our content creator, public relations representative, and general in-house storyteller. He is also the author of the long-running "Highlife for Lowlifes" series (2013-present) and is a food and culture contributor to CITY News, WXXI, All WNY News and other publications. He lives in the Park Ave area of Rochester, is a veteran of the art & music scene, and his dog Mo’ is a beloved fixture around our East Coast office.

A man of many interests, Jim started out focused on geology, physics, auto repair, photography, and home remodeling. Now a member of our construction team, Jim says our projects “Allow me to give attention to detail and feed my ingrained perfectionism.” In his barn at home these same characteristics are in play as Jim meticulously restores a John Deere 430. Our marketing team has also been known to feed Jim’s photography habit–you’ve likely seen some of his images on our blog and in our social media. Stepping away from old tractors and cameras, Jim, Mary, their daughter Abi, and family pooch, Huck, frequent the Adirondacks for long family camping weekends.

It's Angie's bright and helpful voice you'll hear when calling our Farmington office. She enjoys making people smile, throwing a party, and the occasional practical joke. On the job, she is an avid list-maker and works until the job is done. After work, she keeps busy remodeling her 1880's Canandaigua home, learning Italian, designing and building sets for Rochester's Lyric Theater, and jazz singing–she's even earned a place in Who's Who in Music! Angie loves animals–especially dogs–is a foodie that enjoys hiking, kayaking, gardening, and is trying very hard not to be the worst beginner tennis player east of Niagara Falls. 

If you visit us in NY you'll likely be greeted by a variety of wet noses, big brown eyes, wagging tails, and excited 'dancing' paws. The same applies to our Oregon office and shop. Feel free to take a minute to give a pet, or say "hi" in your dog voice (we won't judge). And if you're not a dog-person, just let us know and we'll make sure the wags are long-distance.
