The 19th Grain is a veteran-owned custom woodworking shop rooted in the values of service, precision, and personal history. As an active-duty U.S. Army soldier and a veteran of Operation Enduring Freedom, I bring a disciplined commitment to every piece I create in my small garage workshop.

The name itself, 'The 19th Grain,' is a nod to the story of my life—from my lucky number and the jersey I wore in hockey to the legendary Joe Sakic. It also evokes the spirit of the '19th hole' in golf: a place to relax and appreciate a job well done. That’s what I want my creations to be for you—a reward for your hard work, a symbol of your service, or simply a beautifully crafted piece to enjoy.

I am a husband, a father, and a Christian, and I pour that same dedication into building unique and meaningful items, whether it's a military award plaque or a custom piece for your home.
