Purdys' is a one-man furniture shop, which I own and operate. I work directly with clients to create beautiful, interesting and lasting furniture for their homes or businesses. I build in almost any style and make everything by hand. My wife helps with the designs, hence the plural Purdys possessive.

Purdys' was founded in January 21, 2000. I apprenticed at Wood Interiors by Rodger Reid in New Preston Connecticut between 1986 and 1991. Roger specialized in solid wood interior paneling and cabinetry. Between 1991 and 1995, I taught English abroad in Slovakia and attended graduate school at NYU, studying American and English literature. In 1996-2000, I worked at the Taunton Press, first at Fine Woodworking magazine as an associate editor for two years, then in the woodworking books department as an associate acquisitions editor. From the end of 2005 through the Spring of 2008, my family and I lived in India where I taught English and woodworking at the Kodaikanal International School.
