As “The Clark Workbench” unfolds, I can guarantee that perfection, dedication, professionalism, and honesty will be an integral facet in my business, just as I was taught throughout my life.  

My love for the art of wood-working began at 10 years old. Paul Miles, a dear friend of the family, owned a woodworking shop that housed the inspiration and basis for my hobby. Growing up, he would spend countless hours with me in his shop, molding me as a person, as I began to mold my first bird houses, foot stools, and plant stands.  At 16, I crafted a workbench that won Grand Champion at the Elkhart County Fair, and went on to win 1st Place at the Indiana State Fair.  My successes fostered my love for the art to grow.

During my professional life, I carried my love of creating through to Western Michigan University while studying Engineering, which led to 14 years of office furniture design, remodeling construction, and sales management. 

My mentor, Paul Miles, is my greatest motivation. I became a man of integrity and good character through Paul’s guidance. I credit so much of my growth to him. Paul was my mentor, my leader, and my spiritual guide.

“The Clark Workbench” is dedicated to my hero, Paul Miles, who I will take with me through every step on this journey.
