From the Black Hills
to the Driftless:
The Wood Wizard’s Legacy

Before The Wood Wizard was established in Illinois, I was building dreams in the rugged heart of the Black Hills, South Dakota. Some of my proudest work comes from the Custer area, where I handled full-scope carpentry on commercial and hospitality landmarks.

​

Here are a few highlights

​

Legion Lake Lodge - Custer State Park

I built this beautiful lakeside lodge from the ground up. Everything from the framing to the finishing touches. ​

​

Black Hills Corporation Headquarters & Wellness Center - Rapid City, South Dakota

I am proud to have been part of the crews that handled both rough and finish carpentry on these state-of-the-art commercial buildings.

​

Bradeen Real Estate & Auction - Custer, South Dakota

This one is close to the heart. I built this entire facility myself. From the framing to the fine trim, every detail passed through my hands.

​

From these roots, I’m bringing the same craftsmanship, precision, and passion of The Wood Wizard brand to the Midwest serving Galena, Savanna, and beyond.
