About
Report
In 1972, my father established The Heirloom Shop in New York City. Initially, it was a furniture stripping operation and antique retail store, but the little storefront business quickly grew to specialize in furniture repair, refinishing and custom furniture. It was in that environment that I learned about furniture construction and building techniques.

Report
I was born and raised in New York City. I attended NYC public schools and then received a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from the City University of New York. While I appreciated what the city had to offer, I found myself constantly lured to the mountains north of the city, particularly the Adirondacks.
Custom Furniture
Report
Creating custom furniture is an artistic process in which each piece is tailored to the individual client. This approach allows a person to acquire the exact piece of furniture they have imagined. To begin the process, I listen very closely to what my clients say they're looking for and what's important to them.
Repairs & Restorations
Report
When I apprenticed under my father at the Heirloom Shop in New York City, a large portion of our business was restoring antique furniture. The work gave me the opportunity to observe and understand how furniture is constructed, what construction practices worked and which ones did not stand the test of time.
