About Me
MY NAME IS David
I started apprenticing for a German family Restoration shop in Maryland when I was 17 in the summer of 1993. That summer internship led to a full-fledged career in Washington D.C. in 1995, working for embassies, design firms, luxury hotels, and even The White House. For 30 years, I worked all over D.C., Northern Virginia, Maryland, Baltimore, Philadelphia, and even up to NYC and New England. After Covid, I decided it was time to leave the East Coast so I closed my showroom and studio and relocated to downtown Nashville in November 2022.
