Stumbling Into Making Saw Dust
Growing up with your Dad being a woodworker gives some great perks. The obvious is that you inherit a lot of those skills are taught even more. Woodworking also teaches patience and creates an incredible attention to detail. I spent a lot of my younger years observing and learning from him, carefully taking in as much as possible. Woodworking wasn’t my chosen career path though. Fast forward a few years and I graduated from Millersville University of Pennsylvania with a degree in Music Business Technology. From there I got hired by Clair Global to work as a Touring Audio Tech. I flew out my first tour within a couple days of graduating college, the Ariana Grande Sweetener World Tour. All was great, I loved my job and even got a promotion during the tour. We finished in December 2019 and all was looking well for my future…

2020 started perfectly normal, even had a couple tours lined up and was just waiting to fly out to start my work again. Then a global pandemic happened, and my line of work that consists of traveling and massive crowds of people almost every night isn’t what you would call pandemic friendly. So I became trapped at home. During this time I decided to get deeper into my hobbies, as I had a LOT more free time to focus on them. As woodworking was always in my back pocket, I decided to invest my time into that. Now at this point in my life I had been making things for a while and sold the odd thing here and there. This time made me realize how unstable things can be, no matter how solid you think they are. I always planned for woodworking to be a side hustle, but this made me realize maybe I should hone in my skills and make something really nice out of it. With that, Black Sound & Fine Woodworking was born.
All of that said, thank you for checking out my website. If you like what I do, let me know! I specialize in custom built furniture as well as speakers (everything from small bluetooth speakers to a total home theater install). If you have an idea, I can make it happen!
