His building projects have included the homes of David Bowie, Robin Williams, and others whose names he cannot reveal. He is regarded by many as the best carpenter in New York.Building: A Carpenters Notes on Life & the Art of Good Work tells the story of an unconventional education and how fulfillment can be found in doing something well for decades.

In a singular voice, he offers a window into learning to live meaningfully along the way.
