For more than forty years it’s been a pleasure to collaborate with you, our valued customers, on the restoration and rehabilitation of our region's historic homes and structures. Working together, we have helped to preserve the past for coming generations.

As we look to our own future, Versatile has decided to no longer manufacture custom wood products as a stand-alone item. Our shared legacy will live on in the lasting friendships we have made throughout the years, and in the buildings themselves.

Favorite past time when not at work

I love to BBQ with friends, walking and hiking with my wife Anna and our two doggies. Cruising around town on my Triumph motorcycle and working on my historic Laurelhurst home.

What you did for work before VWP

Prior to working here I was the owner and operator of Hensley Builders LLC doing custom home renovations and general contracting. I am a 4th generation builder and have over 20 years of experience in residential remodeling. I have built complete houses from the ground up, foundation through finish. I have worked with many wonderful homeowners to personally create beautiful custom kitchens, bathrooms, and additions. Among other things I am very passionate about historical restoration and preservation.

What you do in your role at VWP…or what you like best about your job

Here at VWP my title is the Mill Foreman. My job here also includes warranty work in the field. Client interface usually regarding install methods for our products. Co-managing carpenters in the shop with Peter. Building custom “one off” projects requiring a high level of creativity and ingenuity. I really enjoy working with the business development team and the design team to get a project off the ground and into production. Being hands on with woodworking and creative solutions in the mill that increase quality and speed of production makes me happy.
