From a young age, Alex discovered the beauty of turning raw materials into something extraordinary. His childhood fascination for building forts in the woods evolved into a career fueled by creativity and a meticulous eye for detail.

At 18, Alex purchased and renovated his first home, gaining hands-on experience that deepened his understanding of construction, which continues to influence his work today. He further honed his craft by collaborating with top local contractors and working in a cabinet shop, where he learned to mill wood and refine his carpentry skills.

Now, with over two decades of experience, Alex has become a master at his craft, specializing in custom outdoor carpentry. His vision for Southern Sawdust is simple: to deliver exceptional craftsmanship and create spaces and furniture that bring joy, functionality, and a touch of artistry to your life.
