dc-about

 

DAVID CALVIN

David’s talent for and love of design and construction can be traced throughout his life. From tearing apart things (e.g., his mom’s typewriter, his dad’s lawnmower, his own cassette player) just to see how things worked … to thriving in high school woodworking and metal shop … to pursuing a degree in drafting and visual communication, David’s passion for all things design and construction has been front and center.

David applied his talents to two decades in the aquatics industry, where he designed and built waterparks and large natatorium pools. While advancing his career, he became deeply interested in woodworking and began making furniture for himself, family, and friends nearly 15 years ago.
