Built with Purpose. Crafted with Pride.

Founded in 2023, 11Bravo Creations, LLC is the result of a journey that began nearly four decades ago—rooted in service, shaped by struggle, and refined through passion.

After graduating high school in Florida in 1985, I enlisted in the U.S. Army, where I proudly served until 1995. My time in uniform ended with a medical retirement, and like many veterans, I faced the difficult transition back to civilian life. Searching for purpose and peace, I picked up woodworking that same year—starting with what were probably the ugliest birdhouses ever built. But those crooked cuts and uneven edges were the start of something much bigger.

Over the years, woodworking grew from a simple form of therapy into a lifelong passion. Whether it was carving, engraving, or experimenting with new designs, I found calm in the process and pride in the results. In 2017, my wife Julie and I moved to Oregon—a place whose natural beauty continues to inspire my work every day.

With Julie’s unwavering support and encouragement from a few close friends, I took a leap in 2023 and launched 11Bravo Creations, LLC. Named after my Army infantry designation, this business is a tribute to the journey—personal, professional, and creative—that brought me here.
