Chapter 17
“So, Jack says you make furniture?”
“Desks, chairs, tables…I’ll design anything to order.”
“How’d you get into that?”
“I’ve always liked building things, but I never really thought of it as a career until I was in my senior year of college. I was majoring in business and wasn’t entirely sure what I wanted to do with it. Not even sure why I’d chosen the major, other than I had to declare one and I’d always been good with numbers. But I still made furniture as a hobby and someone saw a buffet table I’d built for my aunt. Long story short, they have a store near Branson and they started taking furniture on consignment. Now I also take orders.”
“Wow. So, did you finish college?”
“Yeah, I was already there, so why not get the degree? Plus I wasn’t sure if making furniture was the smartest move. At the time, I had no idea if it would pan out. I’m lucky it did.”
