I was born and raised in Cleveland, Tennessee. When I was 9 years old, my grandfather taught me how to scrollsaw. I would go over to his house and make things like desk clocks, wall hangings, coasters, and Christmas ornaments. For several years, this was the only type of woodworking I did. By the time I was 12, I bought my first (and only... so far) scroll saw using my life savings plus some help from my parents. Over the next decade I made some other machinery purchases and expanded my repertoire to include children's toys and puzzles, a bed, and now wooden wedding rings. I recently got married to my love, Molli. She is currently attending Southern Adventist University in Collegedale, TN where I graduated from with a degree in Biophysics. She loves to work with kids and is deciding between becoming a nurse or a teacher.

    "Matthew is an amazing artisan of wood. He always strives for perfection in his work. The satisfaction of his customers is an objective at which he excels. I am amazed at the quality and beauty of his ring creations. It is fascinating to watch him work and witness the transformation of wood stock into beautifully crafted objects such as his custom rings."
