Our Story:

Over the years, two things have become clear to me: I love to work with my hands, and I love to learn new things. Designing and building handmade products is a great occupation for me because it allows me to do both.

Since I was a child, I said that I would work in the construction field. From an early age I learned how to use tools and was always building things in my parents’ garage. Later, I went to work for a commercial construction company. During that tenure I had an opportunity to go work for a screen-printing company that was quickly growing. I took the opportunity and helped run the production department for almost 10 years. During that time, I met my wife, Brenna. While at the screen-printing company I started a poster printing business called PatentPrints. The business is great and does well. However, I found it hard to feel passionate about PatentPrints’ production. 

Therefore, I had the idea to start a business that would match these passions that I envisioned. Birch & Buffalo started with a small niche, and it grew from there. Currently, we are creating wood wall art and some small home goods. We plan to grow to sell all kinds of home décor products. As of 2021 we are creating more home goods, outside of exclusively décor, and hope to move to additionally creating furniture in 2022. However, I can’t talk about the direction of our business without mentioning Brenna specially; she is regularly involved because she has an excellent eye for design and color. Most of her time is spent at home, raising our 4 kids. She has been my biggest supporter and is always building me up when things are tough. I owe a lot of success to her constant support.
