Owner/Craftsman

Charles remains very much involved in the daily operations. In fact, he refers to himself as an “errand boy.” And he’s not even being sarcastic when he says it. What he means is that he does pretty much everything and anything to ensure our projects are progressing through our workshop and onsite according to schedule. And should you have any questions or concerns about your kitchen, during the work or after it, Charles considers it his personal responsibility to resolve them.

In the years before he started doing this, Charles was a house painter and a general contractor. He was also an expert in the tedious art of hanging wallpaper. “I hung a room in my mother’s house when I was young. Everything about it was easy, but I was really impressed, enough to think I could do it for a living,” he says. Turns out, he was actually quite good at it.

Charles is also pretty good at marriage—he’s been married for 23 years. He and his wife have three kids, ages 15 to 19. When he manages to carve out some time for himself, he’s most likely to be fly fishing (somewhere in Western Pennsylvania, ideally).
