Selected pieces shaped by proportion, story, and long-term use
Portfolio of Heirloom Work
Each piece in this portfolio began with a specific room, client, and story. We study proportion, structure, and material so the furniture feels calm in the space and holds up over years of daily use. This is a small window into the work we create for homes, hospitality, and faith communities.
Portfolio of Heirloom Work
Handcrafted, faith-rooted, long-lived pieces designed for the rhythm of real homes. Every grain of wood tells a story of stewardship and enduring grace.
Crafted for Generation
A curated selection of legacy projects including bespoke dining sets, serene living areas, dedicated study environments, and intentional spaces for children—unified by material honesty and enduring design.
For Interior Designers & Architects
Most of our work begins with a designer’s drawing, mood board, or set of plans. We use CAD, CNC, and hand‑finishing to translate that vision into heirloom‑quality furniture with Golden Ratio proportions. If you have a project in mind, we’re glad to review your concepts and help you shape the right piece for the space.
Woodwork, Early Work
My early work focused on smaller, foundational pieces—tables and chairs, china cabinets, seating units, chests, and bookcases. Over time, that grew into larger commissions such as entertainment centers, library desks, and office units, often incorporating lighting, glass, and emerging computer technology.
Collage Projects
In college, I taught myself basic woodworking skills in the art department studios. I had access to a small studio where I could do higher-level woodwork, and it was there that I created my first four major projects as a senior. Those pieces became the foundation of my first portfolio and led to my first job—an apprenticeship in a custom woodworking shop that trained me for a year before I went into business for myself.
CFC Early Years
I started Champion Furniture Company in an old wood-frame tractor barn on the back acreage of my best man’s farm. For the first ten years, I designed and built custom furniture almost exclusively for interior designers. Most of the pieces in this early portfolio were created from verbal descriptions—listening carefully to a designer or homeowner, then translating their words into a finished, one-of-a-kind piece.
Interior Decor By Commission
These commissions begin with a room, a story, and a set of constraints—light, scale, circulation, and the way people truly live in the space. I design and build custom decor and furniture that resolve those tensions: pieces that anchor a room, soften transitions, or quietly frame what matters most. This body of work is for clients and designers who want a space to feel both deeply personal and thoughtfully engineered.
Projects I Engineered
In the mid‑1990s, I moved into CNC and CAD-based design. The projects in this group are ones I fully engineered and carried through production, delivery, installation, and follow-up maintenance. For each job, I worked from complete blueprint sets—understanding plumbing, electrical, data, tile, stone, and stainless details—so other trades could rely on my drawings to locate their work. This season established a deep working relationship with interior designers and architects on multi‑million‑dollar projects.
Last 15 Years
Designing with the Golden Ratio (PHI) Over the last fifteen years, many of my pieces have been shaped by the Golden Ratio, PHI—a timeless proportion found in nature, art, and sacred architecture. I use this mathematical harmony to guide line, balance, and scale so each table, cabinet, or built‑in feels quietly “right” in the room. These works are crafted for clients and designers who want beauty that is both deeply ordered and deeply human.
Gym-Fest Sets
My sons grew up at Gymnastics Unlimited in Turlock, California. My wife managed the gym, and both of my sons coached there. Each year they hosted an event called Gym-Fest, and I was given the privilege of building the full set. I handled every part of it myself—design, construction, installation, painting, lighting, and soundtracks. For nearly six months each year, this was my focus. These images represent ten years of Gym-Fest sets. Enjoy.
Publications
Over the years, several of the interior designers I’ve partnered with—including Leavtt & Weaver Inc. from the San Francisco Bay Area—have been featured in Architectural Digest three separate times, with my work shown in each of those articles. My pieces have also appeared in furniture industry magazines for commercial projects, along with recognition and awards for hiring and training veterans as a veteran-based company.
Commercial Work
In commercial spaces, furniture has to carry more than its own weight—it has to support traffic, brand, and daily use without losing its soul. These projects pair durable construction with quiet, refined lines so lobbies, offices, and gathering spaces feel both welcoming and ordered. I partner with owners and designers to create pieces that serve the work being done there, day after day.
