Born on Yap Island, Federated States of Micronesia, I grew up with nine siblings. Early on, I developed a love of carpentry. By the age of 14, I had studied several books by esteemed experts. It was at this time that I knew what I wanted to do with my life. Upon graduating from high school in Guam USA, I entered City College of San Francisco. I completed my studies and quickly entered Asian Neighborhood Design. Upon graduating from Asian Neighbor Design I entered The Northern California Carpenters Apprenticeship Program; finding work developing my first professional skills at the San Francisco City Hall Seismic Retrofit Site. I learned a lot at the site, as I was responsible and focused. The most important lesson I learned was the importance of pushing the envelope and not being afraid to work hard. My technique has continued to evolve to the present day.

I am currently a Local 22 Journeyman Carpenter professional, working from my private space in South San Francisco, CA. I enjoy meeting other professionals and following the latest trends. I enjoy attending conferences, workshops, and symposiums, as well as adding more books to my reading list. Although I am highly sought after, I am always open to new projects. No job is too big or too small. Call me today at Home 650-583-1503 .
